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, ...
While municipal corporations and governments around the country wrestle with ways to deal with the growing menace of plastic waste, a method to convert commonly thrown-away plastic into a resin used ...
A method to convert a commonly thrown-away plastic to a resin used in 3D-printing could allow for making better use of plastic waste. A team of Washington State University researchers developed a ...
Total Corbion PLA has donated more than a metric ton of polylactic acid resin to artist Ioan Florea's effort to produce and donate more than 4,000 3D printed closed-top face shields. The biodegradable ...
Testing by NatureWorks’ global partners demonstrates a shrink rate less than 0.25% in printed parts and obtainable lower print temperatures due to optimized melt viscosity & microstructure. MINNETONKA ...
When most people think about 3D printing, they probably imagine an FDM (fuse deposition modeling, or fused filament fabrication) printer — a thin plastic filament feeding through a hot extruder that ...
Most desktop 3D printers use what's called FDM (fused deposition modeling) printing. Another term is FFF (or fused filament fabrication). The idea behind both of these is that a 3D print is built up ...
University of Toronto researchers have succeeded in converting used cooking oil — from McDonald’s, no less — into high-resolution 3D printing resin. Your first response might be: “Why?”, but thinking ...
The 3D Printing Center is Pratt’s centralized hub for 3D printing and 3D scanning. The facility is open to students and staff of all disciplines. We offer a variety of 3D printers and materials to fit ...
