Material Guide – ReFill Explained
ReFill Explained
ReFill is our innovative and eco-friendly 3D printing filament range. The filament range is designed to minimize plastic waste in the 3D printing community by providing a sustainable alternative to traditional filament spools. ReFill filaments allows you to purchase high-quality filament refill coils that can be easily installed onto reusable spools, significantly reducing the need for single-use plastic spools.
The Idea of ReFill
The core idea of the ReFill system is rooted in our mission and vision on sustainability and environmental responsibility. With the rapid growth of the 3D printing industry, the accumulation of empty plastic filament spools has become a significant environmental issue.
We recognized this challenge, and that is why we switched our filaments from plastic spools to cardboard as an alternative.
We then developed the ReFill system to further lower our impact, with the goal to provide a solution that not only reduces waste but also encourages a circular economy within the 3D printing community.
By offering filament refill coils that can be used with a durable, reusable spool, we aim to reduce the overall carbon footprint associated with 3D printing.
FormFutura's Mission
FormFutura's mission is to lead the 3D printing industry towards a more sustainable future by providing innovative, eco-friendly solutions. The company envisions a world where 3D printing is not only a powerful tool for creativity and innovation but also a model of environmental responsibility. The ReFill system is a key part of this vision, as it aligns with FormFutura's commitment to reducing plastic waste and promoting sustainable practices within the industry.
ReFill Versions
V1 - With the first version of the ReFill system, we introduced the concept of a reusable spool to the market. This version laid the foundation for what eventually would be the base for the ReFill System by offering a simple yet effective solution to the problem of single-use spools.
Users could 3D print a high-quality, durable spool that could be reused multiple times, significantly reducing waste. The filament refills were designed to be easily loaded onto this spool, making it a convenient and eco-friendly option for 3D printing enthusiasts.
V2 - Building on the success of the first version, the second version of the ReFill, introduced several improvements.
This version featured a filament coil with a cardboard core offering more stability, and a lighter versatile spool design using less material to 3D print, making it compatible with a wider range of filament types and sizes.
The new spool also incorporated user feedback to enhance ease of use, ensuring that the ReFill system remained a convenient and practical solution for 3D printing users.
V3 -The third and latest version of the ReFill system represents the culmination of our continuous innovation and commitment to sustainability.
The ReFill system features a refined spool design that is even more durable and versatile, with compatibility across a broader range of 3D printers and filaments.
This version also includes improvements in filament packaging, making it easier to install and reducing the overall environmental impact.
The FormFutura ReFill System, is the ultimate solution for efficient and sustainable 3D printing. Our innovative system consists of ReFill Flanges and a flange connector, designed to seamlessly integrate with ReFill filament coils such as ReFill PLA, ReFill PETG, ReFill ColorMorph, CarbonFil CF03, BioWood, and Premium PLA CF03.
