Welcome to Re-Print
Vancouver’s home page!
Here you’ll find all the up-to-date blog posts on the research, ideation, and creation process behind the fourth-year Product Design capstone project: Re-Print Vancouver.
The aim of Re-Print Vancouver is to create a system within Metro Vancouver to collect scrap from local 3D printer owners and recycle it to create new, reusable filament that can be 3D printed again.

Above, you’ll find a menu to navigate the website by subjects. You’ll see the same menu at the bottom of the page as well as a recognition that this website is run on the unceded traditional and ancestral lands of the Kwantlen, Musqueam, Katzie, Semiahmoo, Tsawwassen, Qayqayt, and Kwikwetlem peoples, archived blog posts (updates) by month, an internal website search bar, as well as categories and tags of blog posts.
The Updates page is set up in a blog format and in chronological order. The posts vary from general background information to cutting edge information to progress on the project and include ‘My Two Sentences/Cents (My Two Sent.’s) at the end. Clicking on the images will often bring you to the appropriate website page for more information. The Design Gallery page is a series of process pictures as the project progresses. The Project Scope page explains the constraints of the project as well as the problem statement, framework, approach, and calendar. The Design Rationale page goes through the reasons for choosing this topic, and why they are relevant to our society. The About page is a background on me and some external media as well as my email. Please don’t hesitate to contact me!
Please note that this website is a work in progress and won’t have final results until April, 2021.
The journey is the destination.
