April 17, 2025

Hey there! If you’re looking to dive into the world of sustainable 3D printing, you’re in for a treat. A groundbreaking cookbook is shaking things up by using bio-waste materials like eggshells, orange peels, and sawdust for 3D printing. This isn’t just about reducing plastic use—it’s about turning waste into something wonderful.

Written by Fiona Bell, a postdoctoral fellow at the University of New Mexico, this book is your guide to creating eco-friendly bio-pastes for small-scale 3D printers. Imagine crafting with materials sourced right from your local area! Fiona offers step-by-step instructions to get you started, focusing on natural fillers, stabilizers, and binders. Plus, she shares insights into how long your printed creations will last before they gracefully return to the earth.

By embracing these sustainable practices, you’re not just printing objects; you’re exploring creative ways to cut down on waste and push for a greener future in manufacturing. It’s an exciting journey, and this cookbook is here to guide you every step of the way.
