Mindful Manufacturing™ in Action: How SAF Relife Turns am Waste into Profitable Parts

The SAF ReLife project introduces a groundbreaking solution to one of the most significant challenges in additive manufacturing: waste management. Leveraging Stratasys' proprietary SAF technology, ReLife enables the reuse of PA12 powder waste generated by other powder bed fusion technologies, including SLS and MJF. Through advanced thermal selectivity, this process transforms what was once unusable material into high-quality, functional parts, all without any added material costs.

This innovative approach not only reduces waste but also addresses key sustainability and economic concerns for manufacturers. With SAF ReLife, companies can take part in more eco-friendly manufacturing processes that align with Mindful Manufacturing™ principles, promoting a circular economy while cutting operational costs.

Attendees will gain insights into the technical processes behind SAF ReLife, the environmental impact reduction through waste reuse, and real-world case studies from early adopters in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and consumer goods. The session will also discuss the scalability of SAF ReLife and how manufacturers can integrate this solution into their existing workflows to meet sustainability goals while maintaining part quality and consistency.
