We were born in the new industrial context of the city of Turin, and with our Felfil system, we support our customers in their recycling and customisation projects of 3D prints.
Thanks to our products, shredder, extruder, and winder, we are committed to create sustainable solutions for the 3D printing industry. We believe in the power of recycling and the importance of protecting the environment. Our goal is to provide high-quality tools that can produce filaments both from waste and old 3D prints and from pellets, in order to allow the widest possible experimentation.
We are constantly pushing the boundaries of what is possible with plastic waste, and we believe that the use of our machines can contribute to a more sustainable future where recycling and 3D printing go hand in hand.

Felfil story
Born during the master degree of EcoDesign at the Polytechnic of Turin, the Felfil Evo filament extruder project has the opportunity to get the first recognitions during the European fair of innovation “Maker Faire Rome 2014” winning the prize “Maker of Merit”.
In the same year, Felfil has been accepted among the projects of I3P business incubator in Turin; in this way, it was possible to develop the second prototype of the Felfil Evo. Away the arrives from Kickstarter in the 2015: Felfil is one of the first Italian subjects to launch a project on the international platform. Defined by Startup Italia one of the best Italian crowdfunding campaigns, Felfil and Felfil Evo almost reached 45.000 € in 30 days and 168 backers.
Following the long tail of the success the product entered in pre-order mode on Indiegogo getting good results in the month of March 2016 selling over 20 Felfil Evo.
In 2016 the startup is ready to be lawfully established and to become an effective Srl: again is one of the first Italian company to start an equity crowdfunding on Mamacrowd.com.
In the same year Felfil Evo was available on Felfil.com e-commerce and the pre-sale phase closed on Indiegogo.
The equity crowdfunding campaign on Mamacrowd collects a big success and concludes it in March 2017 after five months with an increase of capital of 120.000 €.
In 2017 the increase of the production allows the closing pre-order phase guaranteeing all over the world the product in ready delivery.
To end year the firm wins the first Italian prize of OPEN Maker for the development of a new project of the range of the products Felfil: a domestic plastic shredder.
In 2019, we released Felfil Spooler, our filament winder, along with source code and technical drawings, following the open-source philosophy that has accompanied us since the first prototype of our extruder.
To complete the circle, in 2021 we released the Felfil Shredder in two power versions, to allow the shredding of waste and the beginning of the recycling process.
In 2022, we had many collaborations, thanks to which the Felfil recycling system reached many Italian schools, in the name of recycling and respect for the environment.
To close the year, we moved to a new, large and comfortable office, to allow us to develop all the ideas we have in mind for an increasingly sustainable future.

Kickstarter Campaign
