Portable 3D-printed device claimed to produce enough drinking water from thin air for a family of four every day - Water from Air project says it can capture 1.6 gallons of drinking water per day


The device is claimed to be able to capture 1.6 gallons (6 liters) of drinking water per day.

Two university graduates have designed a 3D printed vessel that can produce around six liters (~1.6 gallons) of drinking water a day, from nothing more than thin air. The same blog indicates that the Water from Air device uses 3D printing, fused deposition modeling with transparent Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol (PETG) material, and the opaque lid made using stereolithography (SLA). For example, we read that the Water from Air device is centered around “metal-organic frameworks, porous materials that act like microscopic sponges.” Is this 3D printable?
