Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies allow us to create three-dimensional objects using successive layers of material that are selectively laser sintered to create the object. This group of technologies has become an essential component of Industry 4.0, offering numerous advantages, including the reduction of material waste and the ability to customize products. The paper investigates the recycling of PA2200 powder waste following successful 3D printing experiments using Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) technology and provides a cost analysis of the associated processes. In addition, an analysis of scientific papers reporting the use of PA2200 - both "as new" and "recycled" - was conducted using the Web of Science database.
