Abstract

The first decades of the 21st century witnessed two major developments: the insertion of China into the global supply market and the popularization of the Internet. The most diverse segments of industry were affected by an avalanche of offers and falling prices of new machines and products, among them the Additive Manufacturing technologies. This technology allows production on a smaller scale and at lower values than traditional methods of producing artifacts. This connection, combined with the reuse of waste from local production, can revolutionize supply chains and circularity in the development and distribution of objects. This work demonstrates the development of an additive manufacturing system aligned to distributed recycling considering its impacts, advantages, disadvantages, and application possibilities in the Brazilian scenario, in terms of sustainability and circularity of the processes.

Author Biography

João Victor Correia de Melo, PUC-Rio - PONTIFÍCIA UNIVERSIDADE CATÓLICA DO RIO DE JANEIRO

Designer graduado pela UFRJ. Mestre e doutor em Design pela PUC-Rio, trabalhou por anos na indústria moveleira do Rio, especializando-se em materiais naturais. É professor e pesquisador na PUC-Rio onde desenvolve pesquisas sobre biomimética, especialmente bolhas de sabão e suas formas, que já foram apresentadas em eventos como a Rio+20 e publicadas em diversos países mundo afora. É sócio fundador da maré, empresa especializada em upcycling de materiais - como madeira, jeans, alumínio e plástico - que produz relógios, óculos e acessórios por meio da fabricação digital. Durante a pandemia foi um dos responsáveis pelo projeto de EPIs impressos em 3D, capitaneada pela PUC-Rio, distribuindo cerca de 25 mil peças às unidades de saúde do Rio de Janeiro e Brasil. Hoje, é coordenador administrativo do BioDesignLab, laboratório fruto da parceria entre a rede DASA e a PUC-Rio, onde desenvolvem-se pesquisas nas áreas de design e medicina envolvendo realidade virtual, realidade aumentada, manufatura aditiva e bioimpressão de tecidos vivos. É coordenador do projeto NOMAD, núcleo ótimizado para manufatura aditiva distribuida, que visa a reciclagem de materiais plásticos locais por meio da manufatura aditiva e reciclagem distribuida, contribuindo para a redução do descarte local e o retorno desse como produtos que agreguem a comunidade.
