Open-source 3D Printed Pipe Fittings Reduce Water Waste, New Study Argues

Researchers from Canada’s Western University have developed a new open-source approach for 3D printing water pipe fittings.  According to the London, Ontario-based team, around 126 billion cubic meters of water are lost globally each year, mainly due to leakage and broken pipes. The researchers believe using a parametric-driven method for local, on-demand 3D printing of […]
