3-D printers are all the rage in the tech world. Now, Filabot has come up with a desktop extruding system that can grind plastics to make spools of plastic filament for 3D printers. The system claims to be both user friendly and environmentally friendly. The Filabot can process a wide range of plastics, including milk jugs, soda bottles, LDPE trays, bottle caps, and more to make new filament for printing.
3-D printers can "print" nearly any object, but require expensive plastic filament to melt down and form into the thin layers of material that become the 3-D print. Filabot could prove to be really handy around the office…a recycling center right on your desk! And, significantly lower the costs of 3D printing!
