Sculpteo<\/strong>, a commitment to more sustainable printing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As businesses move towards a better understanding of environmental issues, it has become urgent that industries like 3D printing pave the way for more sustainable solutions. Being concerned about the environmental impact of its activity, Sculpteo has worked to make the recycling of their clients' Nylon PA11 and Nylon PA12 obsolete parts possible. 3D printing presents certain advantages compared to other plastic manufacturing processes (local on-demand production, very low material loss, etc\u2026). In this continuity, Sculpteo is expanding its line of sustainable materials like biosourced Nylon PA11. The leading company in the sector continues its research to make 3D printing even more sustainable and presents an interesting initiative through this new program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Alexandre d\u2019Orsetti, CEO of Sculpteo: \u201cWith RE-cycleo, we are inaugurating a new, more responsible way of producing, where we offer clients the possibility to upgrade their products. It has taken decades for mass industries to develop effective recycling programs with their gigantic volumes. At\u00a0Sculpteo, we can offer it from the first part.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Concerning the recycling process, the client will have to send, in the first place, their parts to Sculpteo with a destruction authorization. Once received, the first step of this process will entail collecting and sorting the parts depending on the material (Nylon PA11 or Nylon PA12). The parts will then be placed in octabins that can contain hundreds of kilos of parts. The sorted nylon waste is then crushed into pieces. To keep the industrial secrecy and confidentiality of their clients, Sculpteo guarantees that the grinding only happens inside their factory. The crushed material is then sent to Arkema which will recycle it as part of their Virtucycle\u00ae program. The grinded material is analyzed to ensure that there is no contamination. Then comes the compounding stage where the material will be remelted, chilled, cut into pellets that will be used in other industrial applications. These pellets form the final state of the new material which can now be used. In the case of injection molding, the pellets will be melted and injected in a mold to create a new product like car components, tennis rackets, shoes, helmets, a suitcase, etc\u2026 This will give a remarkable second life to unused parts or end-of-life parts.
