Summary
A technique was developed to convert digital audio recordings into 3D-printable, 33rpm records that play on ordinary turntables. Although the audio quality is low, the songs encoded on these records are still clearly recognisable and the energy of The Pixies "Debaser" remains unmistakeable!

★☆☆
Can depend heavily on virgin fossil fuels, produce harmful emissions, and yield non-recyclable materials. Involves high energy consumption during material manufacturing. As an AM material, requires some re-processing after use. This rating relates to the technology type only. The design, purpose and longevity of the entire object can offset any of the technology type's negative sustainability credentials.
