Sustainable XNUMXD printing

The most challenging part is finding the environmentally friendly raw material. The materials that are used today are petroleum-based, dangerous to the flora and fauna environment, especially in the liquid phase

The field of XNUMXD printing has been fascinating the whole world for several years. The ability to create something out of nothing is innovative, fascinating, and really bordering on unbelievable!

Oh, wait, actually nature has been producing things this way for countless years...

AUTODESK was, in fact, the first company to introduce to the market established, stable and efficient CAD software, which made the lives of countless engineers and draftsmen easier. With the intention of leading in innovation also in the developing field of XNUMXD printing, AUTODESK is looking for the added value that can give it this position. AUTODESK is trying to achieve this with an approach that will make it possible to create a XNUMXD printing technology that is more sustainable and more environmentally friendly than those that exist today.
Already today, production with the help of XNUMXD printing is considered more sustainable than any other production technology, thanks to the optimal utilization of raw materials, energy savings, and the possibility of local production with less transportation and fewer deliveries.
Out of all these, the most challenging part is finding the environmentally friendly raw material. The materials used today are petroleum-based, dangerous to the flora and fauna environment mainly in the liquid phase, before they solidify (the danger is mainly to life and marine flora, therefore it is forbidden to throw the material into the sewer). Finding a polymeric raw material whose use solves these problems is a very challenging task. In order to find the appropriate material, AUTODESK turned to joint research with the "Berkeley Center for Green Chemistry" at the University of California and the American Biomimicry Institute. This combination enables synergy between chemists, physicists, engineers, environmental scientists, businessmen and public health - the same integration that is possible in the world of biomimicry, perhaps more than any other field in the world.
As in many other cases that we present on the blog, also here at AUTODESK - understand that you mainly need to open your eyes, look around and examine what nature is doing. The same nature that produces around us has existed for countless years, including the use of polymers.

  1. I join in the congratulations. A unique site in Israel and sad. It's sad even if you don't pay, because you're looking through the divorce hole. Creating a scientific atmosphere in Israel needs a popular scientific site for discussion. When someone believes that scientific education is very advanced, it is not a priority - over the years, in tiny, but consistent leaks, the level of science decreases.
    There are websites in English, some of them free of charge. Some like nature, scientific american are heavily paid.

  2. So I just want to say that you are doing a great job and from now on I will click on one or two advertisements every time I visit the site.

    Regards, Autodesk

  3. Not paid for any mention. Next I will note that if I upload a press release to lower the dose of mentions, by the way it is AUTODESK with an A and not an O
    I wish someone would pay something, meanwhile I'm the one subsidizing the Israeli industrial and high-tech academy from my own pocket
    Avi Blizovsky, editor and owner - the knowledge site.

    Because we paid for much more mentions

  5. A bad mistake. Today the most popular printing material is a biodegradable polymer produced from corn starch called pla.
    The same material from which biodegradable tableware is made. This material also does not emit particles like materials made from petroleum distillates and is therefore safer to use. The subject of the article is Autodesk is looking for more environmentally friendly materials. We will add that there is a company that takes waste and combines it into raw material for printing and thus it is possible to produce products that are actually recycled.
