3D printing meets design: EXT Titan Pellet for modern furniture

The Californian company Model No. is setting new standards in sustainable furniture production. By using 3D Systems' EXT Titan Pellet 3D printers, the company is able to produce high-quality designer furniture locally and in a resource-saving manner.

As part of the project "Endless Loop: From Waste to Wanted" project, Model No. processes wood waste from the region into bio-resin pellets, which are then moulded into unique pieces of furniture using the 3D printing process. This closed production cycle minimises waste and significantly reduces the ecological footprint.

One example of this is the "Gather Stool", whose components are made from recycled wood material and manufactured on the EXT 1070 Titan Pellet Printer. All materials used are renewable, biodegradable and certified sustainable. Model No. produces exclusively to order, which avoids stockpiling and conserves resources.

The combination of digital design, local 3D printing and sustainable materials enables the company to realise individual customer wishes in an efficient and environmentally friendly way. With this innovative approach, Model No. shows how modern technology and sustainability can go hand in hand to make the furniture industry fit for the future.
