Determining the exact usable amount of 3D printing scrap beforehand is impossible. Factors like moisture, polymer degradation, or unexpected impurities can only be measured after actual processing.
Traditional services often overquote to cover their costs regardless of how much it actually costs to process your specific batch of scraps. This means you waste hours or days simply negotiating requirements and pricing, only to end up with a quote that far exceeds what you expected.
Our "Recycle My PLA" customizer is fitted with the exact same formulas we use to calculate our processing costs. This gives you an automated, order-specific quote instantly.
Once process your scraps, we calculate the exact cost and issue the remaining difference as cashback.
If your batch contains varying qualities of PLA with different melting temperatures, we still do the heavy lifting of re-extruding it to guarantee your spools meet our strict tolerances. This allows you to have a fair, credit adjustment based on the actual cost required to restore your scrap. This saves you time and guarantees you are never overcharged.
