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 ...

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 ...

Your first 3D prints should be simple, practical, and satisfying to finish. This list highlights projects that print easily ...

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 ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Carolyn Schwaar is a tech journalist and editor at All3DP Magazine. This article is more than 3 years old. 3D-printed skull ...

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, ...

If you're in the market for a 3D printer, you'll find one here that fits your needs. The US Environmental Protection Agency reports that the US generated 35.7 million tons (roughly the weight of 17.8 ...

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 ...

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 ...
