Creality Filament Maker M1 and Shredder R1 turn plastic scraps into new filament reels; recycled filament can cost just $5 ...

Researchers developed a special 3D-printed plastic that is cheap and flexible. The plastic is made up of a substance they call thermoplastic elastomer. This elastomer is made up of several different ...

Los Angeles-based startup Azure is using recycled plastic to 3D print prefab homes. The startup is now selling several models ranging from a backyard studio to a two-bedroom ADU. Azure says it can ...

D printing is getting less finicky in 2026. New materials, machines, and software are cutting setup times and making high-quality prints easier.

Although plant-based polylactic acid (PLA) bioplastic is acclaimed for its biodegradability, it can take quite a long time to degrade if the conditions aren't quite right. Bearing this fact in mind, ...

Plastic waste is a big problem in our world today. It's important for makers who use 3D printing technology (which generates plastic objects) to consider the waste hierarchy paradigm. Here's the thing ...

Princeton engineers have developed an easily scalable 3D printing technique to manufacture soft plastics with programmed stretchiness and flexibility that are also recyclable and inexpensive—qualities ...

How many plastic spoons, knives, and forks do you think we throw away daily? [Stefan] noted that the compostable type is made from PLA, so why shouldn’t you be able to recycle it into 3D printing ...

Join us for this exciting, forward-looking webinar which will explore both the opportunity and process involved to take your company into digital printing. We will look at the market metrics and then ...

Current 3D printers employ either plastic or metal only, and the conventional method to coat 3D plastic structures with metal is not environment-friendly and yields poor results. Now, scientists have ...
