Additive manufacturing (AM) support a more sustainable economic model in the following ways: enabling new material options and choices; supporting new design opportunities; providing an efficient, distributed alternative to centralized manufacturing; and building better products. But there’s one final step in the circular economy: end-of-life, or what happens to parts and products at the end of their usable lifespans.

3D printing can play a role here too, by supporting simpler recycling, easing product recapture and reprocessing, and providing new life for recycled materials, just to name a few benefits. The key, however, is planning for the end right at the beginning. Learn more in this video, the final installment in our 3D Printing and the Circular Economy series.
