The project “Recycling Multicolor and Multimaterial Thermoplastic Wastes from 3D Printing” was funded through Research Enhancement Program (REP) by UTA. PI: Dr. Yang; Co-PI: Dr. Hong (Bioengineering Department). Project period: from June 1, 2020 through Aug. 31, 2021. Award amount: $14,938. This project will aim to develop a novel waste…
The research project on additive manufacturing waste recycling was financially supported under Waters Corporation’s Academic Research Support Program (PI: Dr. Yang). New collaboration opportunities are being explored with the Material Science Team at Waters.
Two projects were funded through Research Experiences for Undergraduate (REU): 1. “Recycling and Reusing ABS Wastes from 3D Printing” (PI: Yang; Co-PI: Dr. Hong from Bioengineering Department); 2. “Topology Optimization of 3D Printed Ti6Al4V Aircraft Wings with Less Material Use” (PI: Yang; Co-PI: Dr. Shayesteh from Mechanical Engineering).
Katie Musick Peery, director of the UTA Libraries’ FabLab, and Emma Yang, PI at SIGMA lab, were interviewed on the Arlington Citizen Media podcast about Yang’s research on recycling 3D printing materials from the FabLab. See more on UTA News.
The partnership will support SIGMA lab’s research on the environmental impact of 3D printing as well as advance the Libraries’ initiative to operate more sustainably. See UTA News.
