چکیده
As the additive manufacturing industry grows, it is compounding global plastic waste problem. Distributed recycling and (DRAM) offers an economic solution to this challenge, but has been relegated either small-volume 3D printers (limiting throughput) or expensive industrial machines accessibility lateral scaling). To overcome these challenges, paper provides proof-of-concept for a novel, open-source hybrid printer that combines low-cost hanging design with compression-screw-based end-effector allows direct extrusion of recycled in large expandable printing volumes. Mechanical testing resultant prints from 100% plastic, however, showed combining challenges non-uniform feedstocks heavy printhead hangprinter reduced strength parts compared fused filament fabrication. The preliminary results are technologically promising, provide opportunities improve on help process volumes needed DRAM address negative environmental impacts use.

Beyond plastic waste
ith more than 8 million tons of plastic entering the ocean each year, humanity must urgently rethink the way we make and use plastics, so that they do not become waste in the first place. Cheap, light, and versatile, plastics are the dominant materials of our modern economy. Their production is expected to double over the next two decades. Yet, only 14% of all plastic packaging is collected for...

متن کاملPlastic Coating of Plywood Using Extrusion Technique
The target was to study and develop industrially suitable methods to apply thermoplastic coatings on plywood. Typically, wear and climatic resistance for wooden sheets, such as chip board and plywood, is achieved by thermosetting resin coating (e.g. phenolformaldehyde). However, economical and environmental issues are driving towards thermoplastic coatings (e.g. polyethylene) in such products. ...
