3D Systems announced today its EKOCYCLE branded Cube 3D printer is now available at an exclusive EKOCYCLE Shop in Shop at Harrods.
3D Systems' EKOCYCLE Cube is part of a growing collection of EKOCYCLE branded products, a collaboration between The Coca-Cola Company and global music artist and entrepreneur will.i.am. The collection will be introduced at Harrods as part of a program that communicates the importance of recycling post-consumer waste and encourages individuals to making more sustainable lifestyle choices.
At the EKOCYCLE Shop in Shop at Harrods, consumers can interact with the EKOCYCLE Cube and discover how to bring their passions and design to life through 3D printing.
The EKOCYCLE Cube 3D printer is a plug-and-play device that features a curated printing color palette of red, black, white and natural, instant load cartridges and mobile printing using the Cubify app for iOS and Android. The Cube prints using recycled, post-consumer plastics as the printing filament and each EKOCYCLE branded cartridge can turn the equivalent of 3 assorted recycled 20oz PET plastic bottles into 3D objects.
