Rish3D的“ Go Green倡议”着重于利用最佳实践来最大程度地减少环境伤害。
Raise3D, a global additive manufacturing solutions provider, has announced its “Go Green Initiative.” Being green by nature, in the opinion of Raise3D, is the finest strategy. According to Raise 3D, a circular economy and sustainable practices can be facilitated by 3D printing. Examples include sustainable materials like PLA and the inherent waste reduction of additive manufacturing. Firstly, the plastic spools for 3D printing filament used by Raise3D will be replaced by cardboard. These cardboard spools will feature on 6 Premium Filaments: PLA, ABS, ASA, PETG, PC, and TPU-95A. The spool was created to ensure that the printing process quality and dependability remained unaltered and employ adhesives that can endure even the high temperatures of filament drying treatments. Secondly, the firm aims to utilize recycled cardboard boxes that are easy to dispose of and recycle again.
“While there are still many challenges to get there, the innovative process sometimes surprises us with relevant leaps forward, and so we shall hope the dream will one day become a reality, even if it may take one or two decades,” said Diogo Quental, coordinator of Raise3D’s Go Green Initiative. “In the meantime, it’s our responsibility to implement all the actions that are possible already, and we are committed to doing so. We want to make 3DP always look greener on our side.”
Green initiatives in 3D printing
“The vision we all have is to have ocean’s plastic pollution transformed into filament we can use in 3D Printing, contributing to a circular economy,” said the coordinator of Raise3D’s Go Green Initiative.
The circular economy is a theory that aims to utilize resources as efficiently as possible to reduce waste.Sustainability announcements from 3D printing companiesshow a focus on eco-friendly materials, creative ways to reuse waste, and the beginning of new projects aiming to lessen the environmental impact of additive manufacturing. One example of material innovation is an环保，可回收树脂created by researchers from维尔纽斯大学and theKaunas University of Technologyin Lithuania.
旨在获得insight into circularity within the 3D printing industry and where opportunities exist for circular economy processes to be applied within the sector moving forward, 3D Printing Industry has spoken with experts, including Emma Fromberg, course director at theCambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership, and Marta Redrado Notivoli, project coordinator ofEU-fundedresearch initiative芭芭拉and chemical engineer at theAitiip Technology Center.
Elsewhere, areport由德国环境协会，Umweltbundesamt (UBA), explains thepros and cons of additive manufacturingand how it impacts personal health at home and in industrial areas. This research has examined the text of 987 studies on 3D printing, considering the many components of 3D printing, including materials, technology, and industrial supporting services. The study sought to detect present and emerging trends in environmental effects using a qualitative content analysis tool.
