Meet Benjamin Davis, the 16-year-old Massachusetts student who built a machine that turns 3D-printer waste into reusable filament and won $75,000
- Davis, a student at Bishop Feehan High School in Attleboro, Massachusetts, built the machine as part of his science research project.
- The system uses waste plastic, including waste generated during 3D printing and converts it into filament that can again be fed into a 3D printer.
- A failed 3D print typically goes straight to the trash with a tangle of plastic filament, a misshapen object or a handful of scraps that no longer feel useful.
