3D printing begets 3D waste, and for some, the volume is considerable. Our high volume solution for this is the Filabot 'Industrial Reclaimer', which is capable of granulating 3D waste at a clip of 170 lbs an hour. With far more processing power than an individual would need, this unit is geared toward the deployment in maker spaces and organizations that wish to process waste on site.
In the short video below, we process 3D waste that we received from Voodoo Manufacturing in NYC. Voodoo Manufacturing, a 3D design, prototyping, and production house - is fully committed to closing the loop on 3D waste. You can learn more about them at https://www.voodoomfg.com/.
The equipment used in this process are the Filabot Industrial Reclaimer which granulates the failed prints, a Filabot EX2 unit that extrudes the granulated plastic into filament, and the Filabot Spooler which of course spools up the extrusion.

Hey guys! As you know have been avidly following you guys and engaging your products since your Kickstarter days. I see the Reclaimer is off the site again, and even when it was up it was still an industrial model that is far too large and expensive for most of us makers. Is there ever going to be a model with us in mind, and if so, how long can we expect to wait to see it? Some, like me, have been waiting since 2013! Much affection, Keeley
