Document Summary
Study deploys an interpretive structural modelling (ism) approach, comprising the contextual relationships between the barriers in a directed graph (ism model: literature review. Sustainability benefits: reuse of material, localising production (=shorter supply chains) Research identified several ways to reuse material in 3d printing, including transforming plastic to commercial quality 3d printing filament direct waste extruders. Personal fabrication: use of personal 3d printers, or digital fabrication services, to 3d print objects according to personal, customised designs. Maker movement: consists of individual producers who use digital fabrication tools to design, produce, and share their ideas. 3. 3 barriers to distributed recycling of 3dp waste: technical barriers: lack of standardisation of materials and quality control, economic barriers: inefficiency of small-scale recycling relative to large-scale centralised recycling. Social & organisational barriers: lack of acceptance/need for using recycled filament: regulatory barriers: local legislation and regulations related to the use of materials.
