Carbon Conversions Inc. (CCI, Lake City, S.C., U.S.) now offers re-Evo TDR, a 3D printing filament reinforced with recycled carbon fiber (rCF). TDR offers optimal stiffness, strength and dimensional stability at a competitive price, the company says, and prints with ease on “practically all 3D printers.” 

Similar to all CCI products, the company says it will continue to pedigree and reclaim carbon fiber from all of its waste streams to produce TDR products, making the material affordable for customers. 

CCI is founded on the development of 3D preforming of reclaimed carbon fibers (such as from decommissioned parts) for a zero-waste, closed-loop manufacturing process at commercial scale. In terms of individual fiber performance, 95-97% of the original mechanical property is retained during this process. CCI has recently commercialized the first generation of its recycled carbon fiber loaded PLA and PA12 products.
