FABRICACIÓN ADITIVA Y RECICLAJE DISTRIBUIDO: LOS RESIDUOS COMO MATERIA PRIMA EN EL DISEÑO Y FABRICACIÓN DE OBJETOS UTILITARIOS

The first decades of the 21st century witnessed two major developments: the insertion of China into the global supply market and the popularization of the Internet. The most diverse segments of industry were affected by an avalanche of offers and falling prices of new machines and products, among them the Additive Manufacturing technologies. This technology allows production on a smaller scale and at lower values than traditional methods of producing artifacts. This connection, combined with the reuse of waste from local production, can revolutionize supply chains and circularity in the development and distribution of objects. This work demonstrates the development of an additive manufacturing system aligned to distributed recycling considering its impacts, advantages, disadvantages, and application possibilities in the Brazilian scenario, in terms of sustainability and circularity of the processes.
