Latest Patents

The provided information lists one patent for Blanco Varela: “Methods for recycling plastic Nylon 6,6 from vacuum bags to obtain filaments or powder for 3D printing processes.” The disclosed filament-making method begins with used Nylon 6,6 vacuum bags, which undergo quality checks before being cut or processed into smaller pieces or pellets. Those pieces are checked again, then melted in an extruder. The molten material is cooled and expelled through the extruder’s die to form recycled filament, which is wound into coils. The patent also identifies powder as another possible output for 3D printing processes. Blanco Varela is credited with 1 patent in the supplied data.

Career Highlights

Blanco Varela’s listed invention focuses on converting used industrial vacuum-bag material into feedstock for additive manufacturing. The process combines material inspection, size reduction, extrusion, and filament winding to support the production of recycled 3D-printing material.

Collaborations

The supplied information associates Blanco Varela with Airbus Operations, S.L.U. and names Enrique Guinaldo Fernández and Guillermo Hernáiz López as coworkers. The available details do not specify their roles in the patent or the extent of their collaboration.

Conclusion

Tamara Blanco Varela’s listed patent presents a process for recycling Nylon 6,6 vacuum bags into filament or powder for 3D printing, connecting material reuse with additive manufacturing.
