Abstract:
The project aims to develop an innovative and compact system capable of producing highquality 3D printing filaments from plastic pellets. The system incorporates crucial
components, including a shredder for efficient material processing, speed control for
precise filament production, a temperature controller for optimal extrusion conditions, and
a spooling mechanism for convenient handling. Additionally, the system integrates a
recycling feature to repurpose discarded prints and unused filaments, contributing to
sustainability in the additive manufacturing industry. The project involves various stages
such as system design, component selection, fabrication, testing, and performance
evaluation, with a focus on enhancing filament production efficiency and promoting
recycling practices. The successful implementation of this comprehensive system will
advance the production and recycling capabilities of 3D printing filaments, paving the way
for more sustainable and cost-effective additive manufacturing processes.
