How can/would you use these ideas to make the world a better place?

a device used to print three-dimensional objects by the process of 3D printing.

This material is synthetic.

This material has styrene and acrylonitrile as organic bases.

ABS is manufactured by a process known as emulsion where acrylonitrile and polymerizing styrene are mixed with polybutadiene. The polybutadiene provides an optimum level of durability and the styrene provides ABS with a shiny look.

ABS is strong, rigid and has a low melting point.

Injecting molding machines, 3d printers, and more manufacturing machines use ABS to create cheap products out of this synthetic plastic.

The 3d printer was invented by Chuck Hull in 1984.

This machine manipulates plastics such as ABS and PTU

This machine manipulates materials by heating them up and extruding them on a warm baseplate.

This machine is controlled by a computer.

This machine uses GCODE files

Chuck Hull (Charles W. Hull; born May 12, 1939) is an American inventor who is the co-founder, executive vice president and chief technology officer of 3D Systems.^[1][2] He is one of the inventors of the SLA 3D printer, the first commercial rapid prototyping technology, and the widely used STL file format. He is named on more than 60 U.S. patents as well as other patents around the world in the fields of ion optics and rapid prototyping. He was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2014^[3] and in 2017 was one of the first inductees into the TCT Hall of Fame.

Chucks work inspires me to keep creating and 3d creating.

We can use this machine to create useful products to help people around the world such as cups for rainwater.
