The Story Behind

The Spool

Where did it start?

Founded in April 2023, we focused in research and development of‎ High Quality & Sustainable 3D Printing Filament.

Starting with perfecting high quality rPLA, we were looking to provide the most sustainable option possible for every variety of filament to motivate users towards using more environmentally friendly product. As of today we have one site, located at Mgarr, Malta.

Why the risk?

We knew it would be difficult entering a market with hundreds of options, but‎ we wanted to prove recycled filament could be better.

We noticed that, out of the many filament brands out there, not many seem to take note of the environmental impact their products might leave behind, which really worried us. So we stepped up, creating filament which not only gives a great finish and texture but also lets you sleep well at night knowing you are contributing towards a green printed future.

What's the story?

Built By A Maker,‎ For Makers.

The story began with one maker who wanted filament that was more affordable, more reliable and less wasteful. What started as a personal frustration became a mission to create recycled filament that makers could trust, without sacrificing print quality or performance. Today, Filacorp is built around the same belief, which is that better materials should be easier to access, better for the planet and made for the people who print every day.
