Article Summaries:
- Filamentive, a UK‑based 3D‑printing material supplier, has released rPA12, a 1.75 mm nylon 12 filament produced entirely from recycled Multi‑Jet Fusion (MJF) powder waste. Developed with 3devo, the filament is marketed as the first commercially available product made from MJF waste, offering the same toughness, flexibility, and resistance to heat, wear, oils and fuels as virgin PA12. Spools weigh 1 kg and come in a natural off‑white color, with minor batch colour variations. Filamentive positions rPA12 as a closed‑loop solution for industrial FFF/FDM users and a case study for high‑volume MJF operators, aiming to reduce reliance on new nylon production. The product is available from the UK stock site.
