A Mock Kickstarter Project: Recycled Paper 3D Printer

LESSONS FROM EASTER
Have you ever heard of an island named ‘Easter’? Located in South Pacific, Easter island was once a very rich island which succeed in trading with other countries. However, one day, due to their religions, each of them started to build stone statues, which was called ‘moai’s. In order to build those ‘moai’s, the process of cutting down trees was essential. And since individualism rose, this moai-building growed into a competition between people, resulting in forest devastation.
We should never repeat the situation in this bigger island ‘Earth’ in the universe. And I suggest, the technology of recycling and reusing paper would be the best way to prevent forest devastation, which was unable to be stopped in Easter.
    CREATIVE CHANGE: 3D!
Recycling met the 3D printing technology! Through this paper 3D printer, the user can make a variety of recycled-paper-used goods. When the user supply reusable papers in the back and press ‘ready’ button, after disinfection process, the papers would be cut and made into gel, which makes it easy to be made into a product. Two modes are here. First, in the automatic mode, the user can choose the shape(cup, paper, etc.) and standardized size of the product, depending on what the user gonna make. On the other hand, in the self mode, the user would be offered 3D paper modeling program via our website, which can be decoded by codes given by system managers. And then the user can design his or her own product and print it through the paper 3D printer.
