Graphene 3D Lab, based in Calverton, New York, announced today that it has received and successfully assembled an industrial scale thermoplastic extruder line for the production of conductive graphene filament.
The equipment has a production capacity of up to 10 kg per hour of 3D printer filament. According to the company, it is now operational and has been tested for the production of specialty filaments. Sales of conductive graphene filament are expected to begin before the end of the first quarter of 2015.
In Jan 2014, Graphene 3D Lab filed a provisional patent application for the use of graphene-enhanced material, along with other materials, in 3D Printing.
Graphene 3D CEO Daniel Stolyarov commented, "The Graphene 3D team has worked tirelessly to begin commercial production of our materials. We are excited to now be making the transition from developing the materials in our research lab to beginning industrial scale production and moving forward to revenue generation. I am personally looking forward to offering our filaments to customers and to receiving their feedback on our products. Graphene 3D plans to continue expansion of production capacity in the near future, as we anticipate growing demand for our materials".
