When Scraps Become Recycled Design
Two MIT students created FOODres.AI, a 3D printer that transforms food waste into household objects. This prototype demonstrates how AI and 3D printing can convert waste into functional and collectible items.
Two MIT students are rethinking food waste with FOODres.AI, a prototype 3D printer that turns leftovers like coffee grounds, orange peels, and rice into household objects. A blender makes the paste, AI guides the recipe, and the printer extrudes bowls, holders, and containers.

This is a proof-of-concept for how AI + 3D printing could shift waste into raw material, turning what we throw away into something functional, and collectible. Today it’s cup holders from fruit peels. Tomorrow it could be furniture from scraps.

Would you put a machine like this in your kitchen, or is it too sci-fi for everyday life?
