Sea Mink recycled-plastic surfboard is, like, totally green

Surfers seem like a fairly eco-minded bunch, which is why it’s ironic that most surfboards are made of petroleum-based, non-recyclable expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam. The Sea Mink is different, in that it’s made mainly of 3D-printed recycled plastic.C… Continue reading Sea Mink recycled-plastic surfboard is, like, totally green

Lasers allow fine-tuning of 3D-printed metals without “heating & beating”

A team of researchers led by the University of Cambridge has developed a new technique that uses high-energy lasers to fine tune the properties of 3D-printed metal without compromising the complex shapes it forms.Continue ReadingCategory: Materials, Sc… Continue reading Lasers allow fine-tuning of 3D-printed metals without “heating & beating”
