Exploring Methods For Recycling Filament Waste In 3d Printing, Max Rios Carballo
Exploring Methods For Recycling Filament Waste In 3d Printing, Max Rios Carballo
Publications and Research
The goal of the current study is to investigate cutting-edge techniques for recycling filament waste from 3D printing procedures. Appropriate waste management techniques are required to reduce this trash's harmful environmental consequences. The goal of the project is to look at new methods for recycling filament waste in order to minimize disposal and encourage reuse. To acquire data from pertinent papers and research, a thorough literature review methodology was used. The findings show that this issue may be resolved utilizing a variety of recycling techniques, including shredding, melting, and re-extrusion. The type of filament waste and the intended goal will …

Additive manufacturing techniques enable a wide range of possibilities for novel radiation detectors spanning simple to highly complex geometries, multi-material composites, and metamaterials that are either impossible or cost prohibitive to produce using conventional methods. The present work identifies a set of promising formulations of photocurable scintillator resins capable of neutron-gamma pulse shape discrimination (PSD) to support the additive manufacturing of fast neutron detectors. The development of these resins utilizes a step-by-step, trial-and-error approach to identify different monomer and cross-linker combinations that meet the requirements for 3D printing followed by a 2-level factorial parameter study to optimize the radiation detection …

Additive manufacturing of SiC-Sialon refractory with complex geometries was achieved using direct ink writing processes, followed by pressure less sintering under nitrogen. The effects of particle size of SiC powders, solid content of slurries and additives on the rheology, thixotropy and viscoelasticity of ceramic slurries were investigated. The optimal slurry with a high solid content was composed of 81 wt% SiC (3.5 µm+0.65 µm), Al2O3 and SiO2 powders, 0.2 wt% dispersant, and 2.8 wt% binder. Furthermore, the accuracy of the structure of specimens was improved via adjustment of the printing parameters, including nozzle size, extrusion pressure, and layer height. The …
