Close the Loop with Our Filament Recycler Solution

Preventing plastic waste from entering nature requires closing the loop. At 3devo, we offer a complete desktop solution based on the circular economy concept, enhancing the value of waste. From design to production, we have developed machines to recycle plastic and transform it into 3D printing filament, delivering a smart, cost-effective, and adaptive solution for 3D production.

Our solution includes the GP20 Plastic Shredder, which transforms plastic into granules. These granules can then be processed by our Filament Makers. The Filament Maker ONE creates customized filament reels, and this year, we will release the Filament Maker TWO, offering a faster and more sustainable solution. This streamlined ecosystem encourages the widespread reuse of plastics, promoting sustainable and environmentally friendly practices.

Frequently Asked Questions

 
What is a filament recycler, and how does it work?

A filament recycler, such as the GP20, converts plastic waste into high-quality filament. The process involves shredding plastic into granules, which are then dried (optional) and extruded into new filament using specialized machines.

How does the 3devo solution help reduce plastic waste?

The 3devo solution helps reduce plastic waste by transforming discarded plastic into reusable filament. This process starts with the GP20 shredding plastic waste into flakes. These flakes can then be dried to remove moisture, ensuring high-quality filament production. Finally, the dried flakes are fed into filament makers, which precisely control temperature and extrusion parameters to produce consistent, high-quality filament. By converting plastic waste into valuable resources, the 3devo solution promotes a circular economy, reduces environmental impact, and supports sustainable manufacturing practices.

Can the 3devo solution handle various types of plastic waste?

Yes, the 3devo solution handles various types of plastic waste, including failed prints, outdated prototypes, and other plastic items from different sources.

 

What support does 3devo offer for its filament recycler solution?

3devo provides support through in-house material specialists and a customer success team. Customers can test their materials, including MFI (Melt Flow Index) testing, before purchasing to ensure compatibility and optimal performance.

What are the benefits of using a filament recycler for 3D printing?

Using a filament recycler like the GP20 Plastic Shredder reduces plastic waste, lowers material costs, and supports sustainable practices. It also allows the production of high-quality, customized filaments that enhance the quality and performance of 3D printing projects.
