Help shape a new sustainable 3D print filament – from the ground up.
We’re launching a limited BETA to develop a recycled filament for real-world printing, starting with a carefully controlled PET-G baseline — and we’re inviting experienced makers to help refine it.
How the CycleLab BETA Works
CycleLab Materials is developing a next-generation filament platform focused on recycled and circular materials – built through measured, real-world testing. To do this responsibly, we start with a control material — a high-quality PET-G filament — to validate manufacturing quality, print behavior, and feedback workflows. Insights from this phase directly inform future iterations using recycled PET-based formulations.
If you enjoy testing materials, giving input, and helping shape a better, more sustainable filament from the ground up — you’re exactly who this program is built for.
What makes this different
- Built to become recycled — starting with a control material
- Focused on print quality and reliability
- Small-batch production with direct maker feedback
- Designed with sustainability and performance in mind
What this BETA is – And what it isn’t
- This is an early-stage material under active development
- Minor inconsistencies may occur as part of the development process
- Your feedback directly influences final specs
- This is not a finished, retail product
You should apply if:
- Regularly print functional or production parts
- Are comfortable adjusting slicer settings
- Willing to provide honest, detailed feedback
- Understand this is a BETA, not a polished retail spool
What testers receive
- Access to BETA-only filament pricing
- Early access to future materials
- Direct communication to the development team
- Opportunity to influence final product direction
How the process works
- Apply using the link button below
- We review applications
- Approved testers receive a private purchase link
- Test, print, submit feedback
Sustainability you can print
CycleLab Materials is focused on reducing consumer waste through responsible manufacturing, material iteration, and a long-term transition to recycled feed-stocks.
Phase 1: Control Material
This phase uses a high-quality virgin PET-G baseline to validate manufacturing quality, print behavior, and feedback workflows before introducing recycled formulations.
Note: The initial BETA run will use a virgin PET-G control filament. Recycled-content formulations will follow in subsequent iterations informed by tester feedback.
