Filafab recycles plastic for 3D prints

D3D Innovations has developed a product to create filaments for 3D printing. Most 3D printers use off-the-shelf plastic filaments but the FilaFab Plastic Extruder can take fresh or recycled plastic and turn it into a high quality filament that can be used with most FFF 3D printers. 

The company claims that users can save up to 90% on the cost of ready-made filament. It’s an inherently eco-friendly approach as it can recycle plastics from bottles and cartons to containers and used enclosures and even old 3D prints.

There are two models available, the Pro 100 for £749 and the Pro 350, which costs £1299. Both have metal bodies and can be self-assembled or bought as a fully assembled machine. They’re small enough to fit on a desktop and include a powerful motor drive and interchangeable nozzles.

You can license the articles from Printing and Manufacturing Journal to reproduce in other publications. I generally charge around £150 per article but I’m open to discussing this for each title, particularly for publishers that want to use multiple stories. I can provide high res versions of images for print publications.

I’m used to working with overseas publishers and am registered for VAT with the UK’s HMRC tax authority but obviously won’t charge VAT to companies outside the UK. You can find further details and a licensing form from this page, or just contact me directly here.
