Problem
Subtractive manufacturing can produce many goods - particularly with multi-step production processes and multiple parts. But some objects simply can't be made via those means. Others are simpler and faster to manufacture in a single operation additively.
Approach
Use linear bearings, motors, and a controller to build a 3D printer. A hotend designed to consume plastic pellets instead of filament allows for direct recycling of shredded plastic goods.
