MIT engineers turn plastic waste into strong building parts that could solve housing crisis and reduce environmental impact ...

MIT’s 3D-printed recycled plastic trusses could reduce deforestation and offer a scalable solution for global housing needs.

Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a new 3D‑printing method that uses nothing but light and a single, inexpensive resin to create lifelike anatomical models with ...

The plastic bottle you just tossed in the recycling bin could provide structural support for your future house. MIT engineers are using recycled plastic to 3D print construction-grade beams, trusses, ...

Discover the creative journey of transforming a plastic soda bottle into high-quality 3D printer filament. Watch as we prepare, cut, and feed the plastic into a homemade extruder, achieving a ...

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 ...

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 ...

This research was funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EP/N024818/1). The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships ...

Some 3D printer projects may seem like great ideas, but realistically won't be of much use to you. Take pause before wasting ...

It’s been a while since 3D printers became available and started allowing people to create 3D objects in the real world right from their own home. If you’re interested in getting a rundown of what 3D ...
