New method to 3-D print metal scavenging filters to selectively separate noble metals from waste electronic equipment

oday's extensive use of high-tech metals has led to increased supply pressure toward metal sources. This has fueled interest in developing new metal scavenging and separation techniques. In his dissertation at the University of Jyväskylä M.Sc. Elmeri Lahtinen has studied and developed a new metal separation technique that uses selective laser sintering 3-D printing as a fabrication method.
