voxeljet AG and Parastruct GmbH have efficiently examined the 3D printing of recyclable residual supplies from the development business. The venture utilized voxeljet’s binder jetting 3D printing know-how with Parastruct’s Ecomould materials set.
Ecomould, comprising biogenic manufacturing residues and a mineral binder, demonstrated its potential in producing molded components appropriate for chilly casting of concrete and ceramics. The know-how goals to deal with extra materials recycling within the building business, aligning with growing company sustainability objectives.
Parastruct’s method integrates 3D printing to reintroduce unused mineral supplies and biogenic assets into the worth creation course of, providing a sustainable resolution for mildew making. The marketplace for extra materials recycling is projected to develop, pushed by authorized obligations and Company Social Accountability (CSR) methods.
Past environmental advantages, corporations adopting Ecomould can understand vital price financial savings by eliminating disposal bills for building waste and wooden. The know-how aligns with sustainability objectives, presenting a decrease CO² footprint in comparison with conventional sand-phenolic resin molds.
Ecomould’s versatility extends to its potential for shredding and reusing as particle materials in 3D printing. The applying of a detachable plastic coating additional enhances sustainability, decreasing the carbon footprint.
voxeljet’s binder jetting 3D printing know-how proves splendid for processing Ecomould, providing flexibility in adapting printing parameters. The scalability of outcomes to bigger 3D printers, at the moment out there as much as 4 x 2 x 1 m, ensures ease of integration into various manufacturing processes. The collaboration is at the moment in search of events to contribute to advancing a extra sustainable building business, presumably via funding tasks.
