3D printing is said to be sustainable<\/a> for various reasons, and for this week’s Top 5, our first two videos contribute to that narrative. In our first slot, we have an interview with a plastic materials expert from Arkema who speaks to the importance of a circular economy in polymer 3D printing. Second, we feature a news story on 3D-printed seawalls in Miami, and how they are an attempt to help the local ecosystem. Our next video shows how to 3D print a jar using Fusion 360, and then, we feature a video from Rapid Shape questioning whether PEEK could replace metal in some instances. Finally, watch a satisfying timelapse from 3D Potter, where a cement wall for a home comes together. As always, happy watching!<\/p>\n

In this video from EOS, host Bj\u00f6rn sits down with Sophie Mulsant-Kern, a plastic materials expert from Arkema, to explore the crucial role of circular economy in 3D printing. They\u2019ll dive into the process and advantages of a global take-back program for used polymer powder and parts, shedding light on how manufacturers can easily get involved. Sophie will also share insights from a professional Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), highlighting the program\u2019s environmental benefits. Watch their conversation to learn how reutilization is shaping the future!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
