His research has shown that printing household items with a RepRap is less costly[30] and better for the environment[31] than purchasing conventionally manufactured goods. Similarly, his group developed the recyclebot, a waste plastic extruder, which drops the cost of 3D printing filament from $35/kg to ten cents per kg while making recycling even more environmentally beneficial.[32][33] He also helped develop the concept of fused granular fabrication (FGF) where shredded waste plastic is directly converted to products.[34]
In 2013 his group released an open-source 3D printer capable of printing in
He further developed inexpensive methods such as
