Coffee could be the key to reducing 3D printing waste, according to a new study. Researchers have developed a method for 3D printing using a paste made out of old coffee grounds. Coffee can do a lot ...

3D printing has been touted for its ability to re-shore production and use less overall feedstock than conventional techniques. Discussed less frequently is the technology’s ability to repurpose ...

Most coffee lovers typically dump the used grounds from their morning cuppa straight into the trash; those more environmentally inclined might use them for composting. But if you’re looking for a ...

The widespread adoption of 3D printers exacerbates environmental challenges as these machines increase energy consumption, waste output and the use of plastics. The choice of material for 3D printing ...

Researchers developed a new system for turning used coffee grounds into a paste, which they use to 3D print objects, such as packing materials and a vase. They inoculate the paste with Reishi mushroom ...

Though it started out as a futuristic-sounding niche proposition, 3D-printed construction is really taking off throughout the United States and the variety of projects being printed is remarkable.

Typically, when we think of 3D printing, we think of gooey melted plastics or perhaps UV-cured resins. However, there’s a great deal of research going on around printing special impregnated filaments ...
