Summary: Many 3D printing filaments rely on petroleum-based polymers, which can release harmful chemicals during printing that negatively affect the environment and human health. This study, titled “Utilization of Aluminum Alloy Soda Can Waste as 3D Printing Filament,” explores using soda can waste as an alternative material. Aluminum alloy soda cans were collected from waste segregation facilities in SM Supermalls, Ayala malls, and MMDA recovery facilities in Ermita, Manila. The materials were processed through cleaning, shredding, pre-heating, grinding, pulverizing, and extrusion using a 3Devo extruder, with parameters set by the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), resulting in filaments with a diameter of 1.70 mm to 1.80 mm. The filament was tested for its tensile strength, and a hardness test conducted by Standpro Testing Center OPC and AVM Geotechnical and Engineering Services showed results of 51 MPa tensile strength and 65 durometer hardness, indicating moderate durability and strength. Moreover, self-tests for stiffness showed excellent flexibility and resistance to stress. At the same time, thermal stability tests using the oven method confirmed a melting point of 210°C, proving its compatibility with standard FDM 3D printing machines. The product was evaluated by 30 respondents, including 3D filament experts, students, and Graphics Arts and Printing Technology Department professors. The product acceptability was evaluated using six measures: workability, durability, economy, safety, salability, and aesthetics with an average mean of 4.23 and a descriptive rating of “very acceptable,” which implies that the aluminum alloy soda can waste is compatible with producing 3D printing filament.

Many 3D printing filaments rely on petroleum-based polymers, which can release
harmful chemicals during printing that negatively affect the environment and human
health. This study, titled “Utilization of Aluminum Alloy Soda Can Waste as 3D Printing
Filament,” explores using soda can waste as an alternative material. Aluminum alloy soda
cans were collected from waste segregation facilities in SM Supermalls, Ayala malls, and
MMDA recovery facilities in Ermita, Manila. The materials were processed through
cleaning, shredding, pre-heating, grinding, pulverizing, and extrusion using a 3Devo
extruder, with parameters set by the Department of Science and Technology (DOST),
resulting in filaments with a diameter of 1.70 mm to 1.80 mm. The filament was tested
for its tensile strength, and a hardness test conducted by Standpro Testing Center OPC
and AVM Geotechnical and Engineering Services showed results of 51 MPa tensile
strength and 65 durometer hardness, indicating moderate durability and strength.
Moreover, self-tests for stiffness showed excellent flexibility and resistance to stress. At
the same time, thermal stability tests using the oven method confirmed a melting point of
210°C, proving its compatibility with standard FDM 3D printing machines. The product
was evaluated by 30 respondents, including 3D filament experts, students, and Graphics
Arts and Printing Technology Department professors. The product acceptability was
evaluated using six measures: workability, durability, economy, safety, salability, and
aesthetics with an average mean of 4.23 and a descriptive rating of “very acceptable,”
which implies that the aluminum alloy soda can waste is compatible with producing 3D
printing filament.
