See the below image for the 3d printing in a circular economy diagram. 3D Printing in the Circular Economy Additive manufacturing would be well suited to a circular economy. Recycling used products into material for printing would reduce the amount of resources we need to extract.
Additive manufacturing would be well suited to a circular economy. Recycling used products into material for printing would reduce the amount of resources we need to extract. Renewable powered 3D printers would help humanity meet its material needs while fitting into, not disrupting, large systems essential to life on earth.
Proponents of the circular economy suggest that a sustainable world does not mean a drop in the quality of life for consumers, and can be achieved without loss of revenue or extra costs for manufacturers. The argument is that circular business models can be as profitable as linear models, allowing us to keep enjoying similar products and services.
