Final FIle_3D Printing.

Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) 3D printing enables
creating a closed-loop recycling system. This allows the
user to take plastics and turn it into filament that can be
converted into 3D prints again.
Tyler’s move of creating Filabot to recycle plastic waste
named him as amongst the “Most Successful
Entrepreneurs of the Next Ten Years” by ‘The World
Future Society.’ Recently, in 2018, Forbes magazine
featured Tyler in “Forbes 30 Under 30 to Watch: In
Manufacturing and Industry.” Filabot has also been
published in Popular Science, Fast Company, and Techcrunch
for its innovative work. Today, Tyler proudly
gives credit for his success to mentors in his life for
allowing him to follow his dream and discover several
options. It also taught him to be a good leader and gave
the motivation to strive hard to move forward and
achieve the goal.
Of all the applications of 3D printing, one that has
produced a strong impact on Tyler is ‘e-Nable hands.’
When asked more about it, he asserted, “e-Nable hands
is a community of individuals who work together to print
prosthetic limbs. These limbs are built at over 99% of the
cost of conventional limbs. Outgrowing these prosthetic
limbs is no longer a problem as it is simple to upgrade.
This community has taken 3D printing and applied it to a
real-world problem. This community is fantastic and can
truly show the good we can do.”

Strategy for Staying Ahead
Presently, at the Filabot’s office, Tyler has a close group
of multitalented team who are actively involved in
running marketing meetings to designing the latest
products using CAD software to inventing novel things,
and building unique projects. Likewise, the rapidly
changing technologies make it challenging for Tyler to
define and express his vision to the team. Tyler sets his
vision according to the latest trends in the 3D printing
technology, new innovations or changes made by others
in the sector, and the information or feedback received
on their products. Therefore, as per these
transformations, Tyler makes dynamic and everchanging
future strategies for his company.
Filabot always strives to make new advancements in 3D
printing technology and is continuously updating its
processes to improve the existing products as well as
newly planned products. It is always making moves that
shift it closer to the goal of recycling the abundant
quantity of plastic. The team constantly works to
understand the detailed formula so that the extruding of
many types of plastics is possible. Also, it actively works
with other companies to provide testing services on
different materials to see if they can be converted to
filaments with Filabot’s system and these associations
help in learning more about the product and ways to
improve them.
Our Hardware allows for at
point recycling creating a
closed loop system.
