Under the auspices of the Edu4Plastic project, Luis Sánchez, a student of the Master’s degree in Engineering, Processing and Characterization of Materials, is carrying out 3D printing practices with recycled and virgin polymers.

FADIT is the Additive Manufacturing Working Group of the Society for Manufacturing Engineering (SIF). Today, July 8th, the group met to present a best practices initiative for 3D printing. This initiative will develop training modules on various best practices in 3D printing. It’s a good example of the application of the objectives of the edu4plastic project. The universities that have participated are UPV/EHU, Sevilla University, Oviedo University, Zaragoza University, Castilla-La Mancha University, UC3M, UNED, Leon University, and Universitat Politècnica de València.
