The open source 3D printed Cordless drill will be a showcase for closed loop material cycles. The material used to build the drill will come from the waste stream. At the end of its useful life, all amterials used can be recycled, down to the 3D printed electrical plugs.
Phase 2 of local material loops the involves steel recycling via an induction furnace, which can melt metal and cast it to billet form. Billets can then be rolled to virgin steel using a desktop metal rolling appliance. The size of the machine will be comparable to a household appliance.
