How we get filament for 3D printing?

Gather & Sort
We source PET bottles from local restaurants, emphasizing the vital role of recycling in reducing plastic waste and protecting our environment.
Collecting PET bottles. is the foundation of ReX TeX, starting with partnerships at Brčko District restaurants to gather used containers. This step prevents bottles from ending up in landfills or nature, promoting a cleaner Bosnia and Herzegovina. Separation involves removing caps and labels to ensure purity. By involving the community, we highlight recycling's importance in conserving resources. Restaurants benefit from easy waste management while contributing to sustainability. This process creates a circular economy loop. It educates suppliers on eco-friendly practices. Ultimately, it supports our motto: Clean Everything, Build Anything. We aim to expand collection points for broader impact.
Gather & Sort
Clean & Prep
Mechanical removal of paper labels and chemical treatments ensure thorough cleaning, preparing bottles for efficient recycling without contaminants.
Pre-processing begins with mechanical tools to strip away labels and adhesives from PET bottles. Chemical treatments follow, using safe solutions to wash away residues and impurities. This step is crucial for maintaining high-quality recycled material. It minimizes environmental harm by avoiding harsh chemicals. Our methods align with EU recycling standards. Preparation ensures the plastic is ready for milling without defects. This phase reduces energy use in later steps. It exemplifies ReX TeX's commitment to precision. By focusing on cleanliness, we enhance filament durability. Overall, it bridges collection to production seamlessly.
Clean & Prep
Shred & Dry
Using Felfil technology, we mill bottles into flakes, then dry them in a thermal chamber to achieve optimal quality for extrusion.
Milling transforms cleaned PET bottles into small flakes via Felfil shredding equipment. This creates uniform pieces ideal for further processing. Drying in a controlled thermal chamber removes moisture, preventing defects in the final product. Proper drying ensures the flakes melt evenly during extrusion. This step uses energy-efficient methods to minimize our carbon footprint. Flakes are inspected for consistency before proceeding. It highlights ReX TeX's innovative use of technology. The process supports high-purity recycling. By avoiding moisture issues, we produce reliable filament. This phase is key to our eco-friendly output.
Shred & Dry
Extrude & Form
With 3Devo technology, dried flakes are melted and extruded into high-quality xPET filament for 3D printing applications.
Extrusion uses 3Devo machines to heat and shape PET flakes into precise filament strands. This step controls diameter and quality for optimal 3D printing performance. Our proprietary ReX TeX process ensures the filament matches virgin material standards. It's the culmination of recycling into usable products. Energy-efficient extrusion reduces waste further. Filament is spooled and tested for strength. This technology positions us as innovators in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Europe. It enables creation of figures and custom items. By recycling locally, we cut import dependencies. Ultimately, it embodies building from cleaned waste.
