Abstract |
|
The proliferation of plastic waste, particularly Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) bottles, poses a significant environmental challenge. This research paper presents the design, development, and evaluation of a cost-effective and environmentally friendly machine capable of transforming waste PET plastic water bottles into high-quality 3D printing filament. The proposed system integrates a mechanical cutting mechanism, a precisely controlled extrusion unit, and a filament winding system. By repurposing plastic waste into a valuable resource for additive manufacturing, this project aims to promote circular economy principles, reduce reliance on virgin plastics, and offer a sustainable solution for both waste management and 3D printing material accessibility. |
