Desenvolvimento de uma extrusora para confecção de filamento a partir de polímeros (ABS) reciclados.

Abstract

The growing volume of electronic waste (e-waste) represents a global challenge, and ABS plastic is one of the main components used in the industry for the manufacture of electronic equipment. Finding alternatives for ABS recycling is essential to reduce environmental impact and promote a circular economy. Among the possible solutions to the problem is the reuse of ABS in the manufacture of filaments for 3D printers, however, the use of recycled ABS filaments in 3D printers is still limited. This work aims to develop an experimental extruder for the production of recycled ABS filaments from toner cartridges and evaluate the filament quality. It is expected that the results of this research will contribute to the promotion of plastic recycling and the development of more accessible and sustainable 3D printing technologie.
