Hello everyone,Currently, 3D printing technology is extremely developed, it appears in all areas of life and helps a lot. While it is useful, does 3D printing have a negative impact on the environment? Hope everyone let me know.Thanks everyone.

no :-)
The most widely used 3d printing plastic is PLA. Which is made primarily from maize starch. So no oil, fully environmentally friendly source and it's bio-degradable as well.
Most of the other plastics - not so enviromentally friendly, but abs and polyurethane ar both recyclable - but pla is a huge chunk of the market.
