PLA is the most suitable material when you require strength, stiffness, and low costs, in builds that aren’t exposed to heat or sustained mechanical stress – think decorative models, prototypes, jigs, and educational projects. Another advantage to printing PLA is that it captures excellent detail and dimension accuracy, tolerances of

Recycling is the best way to deal with 3D printed plastic, but not all plastics are recyclable, and those that are, aren’t always widely recycled. This puts barriers in the way of sustainable additive manufacturing. The plastic crisis is one of the most significant challenges facing our planet. Our reliance

3D printing is an ever-evolving technology. Previously, prototypes were crafted from a block of material that left behind unnecessary waste, but these days, 3D printing involves intelligent production that uses less material and is, therefore, more sustainable than ever. A study released on April 25th 2022 discusses the development of
