(PET) bottle Recycling for 3D printing filament : producer machine development and material characteristics

Abstract

This project explores the innovative use of recycling PET bottles to produce 3D printing filaments as a solution to growing concerns about the environnement and the economy. by converting these plastic wastes into valuable resources, the project aims to reduce the carbon footprint of filament production while providing an economical alternative in the expanding 3D printing market. The project focues on designing an efficient PET bottle recycling device and conducting detailed analyses of the properties of the produced filaments, including their comparison with commercially available PLA and ABS filaments. The primary goal of the project is to design, implement, and test the device, while producing high-quality filaments suitable for industrial and creative applications
