Our Sustainable Process
Made simple.
Turning 3D printing into a
closed-loop cycle
Our step-by-step process
Shred it → Dry it → Melt it → Spool it → Print it → Repeat
PRE-STEP:
Shred it (Recommended)
Many thermoplastics can be recycled and converted into filament for 3D printers. With our shredder, we put our plastic waste to good use. Grinding down old plastics into pellets with ease and effortless operation. Once the regrinds have been created, it can then be processed by our filament maker.

Pre-Step:
Dry It
Moisture can make it nearly impossible to produce quality 3D printing filament. By drying granulates prior to producing filament, this process can enhance the performance characteristics of the filament produced.
STEP 1:
Melt it
Whether we’re repurposing shredded regrinds or using manufactured granulates in our filament maker — We can melt almost any polymer, including high temperature thermoplastics and metal powdered combinations. From there, our filament maker extrudes customized filament with precise roundness and accurately guides it to the spool.

STEP 2:
STEP 2:
Spool it
How the filament is rolled on the spool makes a world of difference. That is why the extrusion and spooling process in our filament makers are well-integrated, guaranteeing neat spools every time. Enhancing the 3D printing experience with quality filament through consistent diameter tolerance.
STEP 3:
Print it
Finally, we are left with high-quality 3D printing filament. From turning old prints into filament and new filament into fresh prints – We developed a closed loop cycle. Delivering a smart, cost-effective and adaptive solution to 3D production.
