A new study published in Nature explores how we can use recyclable materials for 3D printing. The researchers developed a new type of resin, a material used in 3D printers, made entirely from renewable sources. This resin can be used, broken down, and reused, making it highly sustainable.
What is 3D Printing?
3D printing, or additive manufacturing, involves creating objects layer by layer using materials like plastic, metal, or resin. This technology is used in various fields, from making prototypes to producing final products. Traditional resins used in 3D printing are often derived from petroleum and are not recyclable, posing environmental challenges.
