Title (original)
Proceeding: 3D Printing Applications for Creating Products Made From Reclaimed Fishing Nets
Description
This paper examines the potential of (FFF) 3D printing as a method of converting waste fishing gear polymers into saleable products on a localised scale through the completion of a pilot study. This includes a qualitative assessment of the available fishing gear polymers, their composition, construction, condition and level of contamination as well as an evaluation of their potential suitability as source material for (FFF) 3D printing filament. The viability of both the direct 3D printing of fishing gear and the indirect use of (FFF) 3D printing as a facilitator in the conversion of fishing gear into saleable products are discussed. Proceeding for the 21st International conference "Sustainable Innovation 2016, Circular Economy, Innovation & Design" (7-8 November 2016).
