It’s pretty wild how much plastic waste we generate, right? It feels like it’s everywhere. But what if we could actually use ...

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, ...

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Researchers from Washington State University have developed a new way to convert rarely recycled plastic waste into a sturdy 3D printing material, the school announced.

3D printing creates solid objects from the additive process of layering plastics, metal, wood, synthetic fibers, and more. You can 3D-print your own designs using a ...

A commonly used material in 3D printing is plastics. The reason being is that it is readily available, cost effective, and allows for rapid prototyping. However, plastics pose an environmental concern ...

Los Angeles-based architectural startup Azure is changing the way things are done in the construction industry as they use recycled plastic to 3D print prefab homes. Now, they are selling house models ...

In recent years, research interest in the 3D printing of metal patterns on plastic parts has grown exponentially, due to its high potential in the manufacturing of next-generation electronics. But ...

Perhaps one of the oldest dreams of a science-fiction future is the ability to create something where once there was nothing. If we could create solid, stable objects out of thin air, the idea of ...

In a study published in Nature Communications, researchers from the University of Nottingham’s School of Chemistry and Faculty of Engineering describe the development of supercritical carbon dioxide ...

The use of plastics for mass production traces its roots to the 1860s and John Wesley Hyatt, a printer from Albany, New York. Hyatt was responding to the offer of a $10,000 reward to anyone who could ...
