Give someone a 3D printer, and she'll make something cool (http://mashable.com/2012/05/08/3d-printer-creations/?utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss); teach someone to use a 3D printer for sustainability, and she might change the world
We've seen a variety of 3D-printed projects spring up over the last two years — from medical splints (http://mashable.com/2013/09/05/3d-printing-healthcare/?utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss) to houses to guns (http://mashable.com/2013/06/02/3d-printed-gun/?utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss) — and most fanatics will gladly argue that it's only the beginning of a revolutionary distribution movement

Ideally, 3D printing itself is a largely sustainable concept — but a few projects, which we've highlighted below, take it to a whole different level

Protoprint was founded in early 2013 by Sidhant Pai, an environmental engineering student at the Massachusetts Institute of Tech**logy. In the summer of 2012, Pai had been researching low-cost recycling tech**logy around the same time his father began dabbling in 3D printing as a hobby Read more...
