Sustainable SLS 3D Printing: The RECYPPOWDER project focuses on using recycled polypropylene for Selective Laser Sintering to promote sustainable production processes and reduce the CO2 footprint.
Unexplored Potential of Polypropylene: Although polypropylene is one of the most consumed plastics worldwide, its potential in 3D printing has been scarcely explored. The project aims to close this gap and expand the application possibilities of polypropylene.
Promoting Sustainability and Innovation: The RECYPPOWDER project marks a significant step towards a circular economy in the additive manufacturing industry, highlighting the importance of sustainability and innovation in the field.
Andaltec and Partners Revolutionize 3D Printing with Recycled Polypropylene.
The Spanish research center Andaltec, together with Innomaq 21 and the University of Barcelona, has launched the RECYPPOWDER project to make recycled polypropylene usable for Selective Laser Sintering (SLS).
The goal is to develop sustainable and cost-effective materials for additive manufacturing. The project aims to optimize recycled polypropylene for use in the highly precise and complex SLS process by monitoring and verifying the entire process from collection to reprocessing.
