Frequently Asked Questions

What materials can be used in a filament maker?

3devo filament makers support a wide range of thermoplastics, from common materials like PLA and ABS to engineering and high-performance polymers, depending on processing requirements and configuration.

Can I extrude recycled plastic into filament?

Yes. Many thermoplastics can be shredded, prepared, and reprocessed into filament as part of closed-loop recycling workflows, depending on material condition and application requirements.

Can I process composites or additive-filled materials?

Yes. Depending on the material and application, 3devo extrusion systems and filament makers can support composites, additive-filled formulations, and advanced material development workflows using the appropriate configuration.

How do I know if my material is extrudable?

Material behavior depends on factors like thermal properties, additives, moisture sensitivity, and application requirements. If you’re unsure, start with a feasibility discussion with our team. 

What is the difference between Filament Maker ONE and Filament Maker TWO?

Filament Maker ONE is a compact (desktop-sized) platform for hands-on research, experimentation, and early-stage material development. Filament Maker TWO is a more advanced and intelligent extrusion system designed for material development, recycled polymer workflows, and industrial filament production where consistency matters.

What filament diameters can be produced?

Depending on the application and setup, 3devo filament makers can produce filament diameters ranging from 0.5 mm to 4 mm.

Do I need material validation before buying?

Not always. Many projects start with a lighter feasibility discussion to assess compatibility and workflow fit. Full material validation is typically used for advanced or production-oriented applications.

Can I process high-performance polymers like PEEK?

Yes. High-temperature capable configurations support demanding engineering polymers, including high-performance materials, depending on processing conditions and application requirements.
