3D COBRA
Non-toxic 3D Print Filament
3D printing, globally and in Australia, is growing fast and steady and with it the challenge of dealing with toxic plastic waste and pollution from fumes created in the print process. With our 3D Cobra filaments, we totally eliminate toxic fumes and waste so you can be sure your work hub, classroom or home office remains a healthy place.
In fact, our products contribute to a rather cosy interior feeling since our bioplastic filaments smell like “burned wood” according to the feedback we received from our first local customers. Our filaments are 100% biodegradable and made from renewable raw-materials only. When thrown into landfill or soil it will ultimately break down and cause no harm to the environment. On top, our 3D cobra filaments offer new design possibilities due to outstanding technical features, providing a higher resistance against stress and pressure.

NEXT STEPS
Currently we import our filament from Germany offering two thicknesses (1.75mm & 2.85mm) in a range of colours and textures. After finalising our first round of product tests in Australia, we are currently working on setting up a small-scale production in collaboration with a social enterprise in the Greater Brisbane area.
We are committed to prevent people, and especially kids and teenagers, from inhaling toxins resulting from 3D printing. Therefore our long-term goal with 3D Cobra is to use our local case studies and user experience in order to assist in the necessary update and change of current regulations and laws around the level of fumes and toxins in interior settings resulting from 3D printing. By offering bio-based and biodegradable 3D print filament solutions to the market, we help to create more awareness on the topic and achieve healthier interior room climates especially in educational institutions and office spaces.
