Abstract
In the framework of maker culture that promotes the collaborative creation and multidisciplinarity of projects of any kind, the Precious Plastic project created by Dave Hakkens, consists of a global community united with the purpose of fighting against the negative effects of plastic pollution. In order to do so, the projects of four plastic processing and recycling machines, called Shredder, Compression, Injection, and Extrusion, along with their construction manuals were shared online, free of charge and iterated through virtual platforms. Therefore the main goal of this work is to apply the principles of collaborative creation and sustainability to improve spaces dedicated to digital creations, through the experience of building the Injection molding machine, and its insertion in the Open Laboratory of Brasília (LAB) of the Faculty of Technology of UnB, aiming to provide students greater access to alternative manufacturing processes, as well as to promote creative learning techniques for future pedagogical purposes.
