Through recycling and repurposing of its plastic waste materials, the Fulton Schools 3DPrint and Laser Cutter Lab is advancing ASU’s educational and sustainability missions. Almost 100 percent of the waste material is being put to cost-effective use — in new 3D printing projects, as donations to K-12 programs for hands-on lessons that teach science, technology and engineering fundamentals to young students, and for providing ASU students opportunities to gain skills in prototyping processes that are critical to multiple engineering and manufacturing fields.
