Filabot

Founded in 2011 and based in Vermont, US, Triex LLC trading under the name Filabot, offers 3D filament recycling equipment designed to encourage 3D printing's sustainability. In December 2024, Filabot raised USD 1. 5 million in seed funding led by investor Fresh Tracks Capital, with participation from other investors CORI Innovation Fund, Dudley Fund, Lever Fund, and BTV Ignite.   Filabot specializes in the production of filament extrusion technology, offering a range of machines designed to convert plastic waste into quality filament for 3D printers.

Their core product lineup includes the EX2 and EX6 filament extruders, which cater to various operational requirements, allowing users to recycle failed prints and other plastic waste into usable filament. This process addresses sustainability challenges within the 3D printing industry by enabling users to create custom filaments tailored to their specific printing needs. The company's products are primarily marketed to industrial clients, educational institutions, and individual enthusiasts of 3D printing across multiple geographical regions, including North America, Europe, and Asia. The company plans to utilize the December 2024 funding to extend the engineering and sales staff to accommodate the quick expansion of the clientele, improve product development, and expand its market reach in Australia, Europe, and North America.
