Waste paper molding using 3D printed tools

Abstract

The subject of this paper includes research into the possibility of using different waste paper materials for the production of new graphic packaging, in order to reduce the percentage of paper waste, give new life to waste paper materials, and reduce the production and use of virgin paper packaging materials. The subject of this paper also includes research into the possibility of using the FDM technique of additive manufacturing in the production of molds for casting, that is, the design of future paper packaging. The molding process is used to form the shape of paper pulp, while the forming process is used to form the shape of solid paper materials.
