★★☆
Can depend on fossil fuels and high energy use, but allows unconsumed material to be directly reused for printing without reprocessing, significantly reducing manufacturing waste. 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.
