3D Filament Extruder

Project Type: Self-Initiated

Project Description

Our project aims to design a functional prototype of a 3D filament extruder that can produce high-quality filament from raw PLA pellets. The project is motivated by the need for a cost-effective and accessible source of filament. Our project seeks to open up the 3D printing industry enabling everyone to realize their creative potential. By making PLA filament production more affordable and accessible, we may stimulate an innovations that cuts across industries, encourages creativity, and eventually works toward making the world more sustainable and interconnected.
