Helen Little: How to Recycle All Kinds of Waste Plastic Via Pellet 3D Printing
Channel: The Open Source Hardware Association
Date: 2022-04-23

A presentation from the 2022 Open Hardware Summit.

Countless waste plastic streams can be potentially diverted from the environment and mechanically recycled via pellet 3D printing. However, waste stream composition is often ambiguous, and a slew of interdependent printing settings must be optimized to successfully print any material. In this presentation, Helen Little from re:3D will present a standardized open-source material testing procedure, developed after hundreds of hours of material testing across dozens of materials.
