A new era of 3D-printing “microfactories” is helping to turn waste plastics into “highly competitive” products fit for use in ...

The technique relies on the fact that ABS plastic and acetone don’t get along together very well. We’ve seen acetone used to smooth out 3D printed objects before – either by dunking the ...

Renew IT recycles e-waste into 3D printing filament using the UNSW-designed MICROfactorie to process hard plastics.

A recent paper in Nature Communications discusses how to 3D print common logic gates using ... The larger gates use ABS plastic and measure about 250mm square. The smaller gate measures less ...

"If this [waste-made plastic] can now be fed into a 3D printer, can you actually print a whole range of products?" she said. One such product already made are "clamps" — or blocks — used in ...
