Recycling Manufacturing Machine

Your own recycling factory.

Feed it the plastic you'd normally throw away. It turns it into material and manufactures anything you're interested in, as long as it fits on the print bed.

  • Recycles most plastics
  • Makes anything that fits on the print bed
  • Waste in, finished product out, in one system

How it works

Seven steps from trash to product.

Every stage runs inside one system. PET bottles take one extra step, glycolysis, before drying.

  1. A granulator with a hopper dropping plastic flakes into a bin
    STEP 1

    Granulate

    Plastic goes into the hopper and is ground into small, even granules.

  2. A wash tank full of plastic flakes and water
    STEP 2

    Clean

    Granules are washed to strip labels, glue, dirt and leftover contents.

  3. PET onlyA jacketed glycolysis reactor vessel
    STEP 3

    Glycolysis

    PET is broken down chemically and rebuilt into a clean, printable material.

  4. A hopper dryer with a control unit
    STEP 4

    Dehumidify

    A desiccant dryer pulls out moisture so the material prints without bubbles or weak layers.

  5. A heated nozzle extruding a strand of filament
    STEP 5

    Extrude

    Dry material is melted and drawn into a consistent 1.75 mm filament.

  6. A spool wound with filament
    STEP 6

    Spool

    Filament is cooled and wound onto spools, ready to load.

  7. A 3D printed brown lab puppy named Nessie
    STEP 7

    Print

    Spools feed the 3D printer, controlled from the touchscreen HMI.

Printing from the touchscreen

Just say what you want to make.

The machine's HMI touchscreen has voice built in. Your spoken request becomes the prompt for our AI, which runs the whole order-to-print automation and talks to the 3D printer for you.

Questions

What plastics can it recycle?

Most common household and shop plastics. Sort by type for the best material.

What can I make with it?

Anything you are interested in, as long as it fits on the print bed.

How do I start a print?

On the touchscreen, tap Printables, then Custom, and say what you want. The AI handles the model, slicing and printer.

Why do PET bottles take an extra step?

PET goes through glycolysis before drying so it becomes a clean, consistent material for printing.

Do I need experience?

[Describe setup, training and support included with the machine.]

Do you deliver and install?

[Delivery and install details, e.g. across San Diego County.]
