Make, Model & Classification
| Name | Filament Maker Two (FM2) |
| Model | HighFlow and Fusion |
| Classification | Other () |
Operations
| Description or Purpose | The 3devo Filament Maker Two transforms plastic waste or raw pellets into high-quality 3D printing filament. By converting discarded materials into reusable filament, it reduces reliance on virgin plastics and minimizes waste disposal. Its precise temperature control and automation ensure consistent filament quality, supporting closed-loop manufacturing. This enables users to recycle in-house, cut material costs, and lower their environmental footprint while fostering sustainable innovation in prototyping and production. |
| Operating Principles | The 3devo Filament Maker Two operates by melting plastic pellets or shredded waste and extruding them into uniform filament strands. It features precise temperature control, adjustable speed, and automated diameter measurement to ensure consistent quality. The machine supports various plastic types and offers easy operation through an intuitive interface. Benefits to the end user include cost savings by recycling materials, reduced environmental impact, and access to custom filament tailored to specific printing needs. Its reliability and precision enhance 3D printing results, making it ideal for prototyping, production, and sustainable manufacturing practices. |
| Additional Information | For SMEs considering the 3devo Filament Maker Two, its compact design and user-friendly interface make it ideal for on-site recycling without requiring extensive technical expertise. It supports a wide range of plastics, enabling flexible material use and reducing dependency on external suppliers. The equipment promotes sustainability by turning plastic waste into valuable filament, lowering waste disposal costs. Additionally, it offers real-time monitoring and adjustable settings to optimize filament quality. This makes it a practical investment for SMEs aiming to enhance circular economy practices, improve cost efficiency, and develop customized 3D printing materials tailored to their specific needs. |

Approvals Related to Use of Output
Important Note on Composting in NSW
In NSW, applying waste to land – including a processed waste such as compost - or using it as a fuel may trigger various regulatory requirements. Depending on the proposed use you may be required to comply with a Resource Recovery Exemption or need to hold an environment protection licence, and pay the waste levy.
While there is a Compost Exemption (2014) it is important to note that drying or dehydrating food waste, or any other compostable waste, is specifically excluded from consideration under this exemption. Drying or dehydrating equipment uses externally supplied energy to heat and ventilate food waste or any other compostable waste in order to rapidly dry the waste material over a short time period (typically 24 to 48 hours), either with or without the addition of an inoculum. If you are interested in this type of equipment you should refer to the resource recovery exemptions for information on lawful use of outputs.
If it is intended to use the material as a fuel, it must comply with the NSW Energy from Waste Policy Statement. http://www.epa.nsw.gov.au/waste/140056enfromwasteps.htm
