MJF powder waste is no longer just a disposal issue. We’ve turned it into a commercially viable PA12 filament.
Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) has become a mainstream industrial process, but surplus powder cannot be reused indefinitely. In most cases, it ends up as waste.
Over the past months, we have been working on converting that surplus PA12 powder back into usable filament through our internal extrusion setup in the Netherlands.
The result is rPA12, now commercially available in collaboration with Filamentive.
For us, this is less about launching a new material and more about validating an approach. Recycling in additive manufacturing only becomes meaningful when it is technically reliable and economically sound. This project shows that, under controlled conditions, specific waste streams can be turned back into market-ready material in a commercially viable way.
Our internal setup serves as an active validation environment, where our team continuously tests, adjusts and refines material workflows. More broadly, it reflects our direction of enabling controlled, in-house material processing alongside existing operations, where it creates measurable operational and financial value.
Thanks to the Filamentive team for the open collaboration in bringing this to market.
If you operate MJF systems and are looking at in-house material recovery or processing, we are open to discussing how this approach could apply in your setup.
