Towards sustainable 3D printing

Towards sustainable 3D printing

Additive manufacturing (AM) technologies are disrupting our society by proposing a faster and customizable way of producing parts. Along with the technological advances, the environmental, economic, and societal aspects of AM must also be addressed to create a sustainable future. In this viewpoint,...
