How to make prototypes with more sustainable and environmentally friendly materials?

3D CORE™ PET GR, the new “green” range of PET (polyethylene terephthalate) foam made from 100% recycled and recyclable materials

The solution developed by 3D|Core for a green future consists of minimising the weight and maximising the quality of the components. Our partner pays particular attention to material and energy consumption in production and the use of sustainable composite materials. This is why 3D|Core offers 100% recycled and recyclable base materials with excellent mechanical properties that do not contain substances that are hazardous to the environment or people. In addition, the nested assembly kits reduce waste and ensure optimal material consumption. 3D|Core’s ability to manufacture prototypes and small series also avoids unnecessary transport, thus reducing your and our carbon footprint.
