En 2016, une entreprise Californienne, Emerging Objects, présenta un pouff imprimé en 3D. Selon eux : //a traduire//

Emerging objects has developed a formula for using recycled rubber content in 3D printing using tires that are cryogenically reduced to a micronized rubber powder with many possible applications in the building industry. We envision using this material to make 3D printed outdoor furniture and as 3D printed panels for exterior building components such as wall panels that can be used as for acoustic and sound dampening purposes.

The Rubber Pouff is 3D printed out of our recycled rubber tires and can be used as a low seat, a foot stool or a playful object. The Rubber Pouff is printed in eight parts that are adhered together to make one strong piece. The detailed, beveled texture on the surface of the pouff gives the appearance of button tufting which makes the piece look padded and soft and contributes to the overall materiality and haptic quality of the object.
