Nowadays, the demand for reliable WiFi networks is very apparent and is in a constant growth. Thus, in order to provide high-quality and low-cost WiFi networks to consumers, the need for inexpensive and high performance antennas is critical to meet the high demand. In this project, 3D printed antennas which are made of recycable plastic will be investigated. Tests will be conducted to verify that these antenna meet the required performance criteria.

Introduction
This project aims to make use of recyclable plastic as a filament to 3D print antennas for WiFi networks. This will not just make use of the common household waste and reduce pollution, but also lead to a mass production of budget-friendly antennas through the usage of 3D printing technology. These high performance antennas will be designed through CST Studio Suite 2019 which will then be 3D printed and tested in the anechoic chamber and real outdoor WiFi setting to make sure that they meet the specifications set for WiFi networks.
