About Recreus

Pioneers in Flexible Filaments for 3D Printing and Creators of Filaflex

Recreus was born from a deep passion for the industry and a clear vision of the transformative potential of Additive Manufacturing. Our story is about how we created Filaflex, the first flexible filament for 3D printing, redefining the possibilities of this technology.

From that crucial moment, our objective has been clear: to democratize flexible 3D printing, providing businesses, creators, and users worldwide with the tools and knowledge necessary to bring their ideas to reality.

Let's go back to 2012. 3D printing was beginning to capture the world's imagination, but it was at a crossroads. The market was dominated by rigid materials, limiting creativity and functionality. It was then that Ignacio García, our founder, saw an opportunity to revolutionize the industry by developing a material that would add an entirely new dimension to 3D printing: flexibility.

A Vision That Changed 3D Printing Forever

When Ignacio García founded Recreus, he had a clear mission: to transform the rigid world of 3D printing by introducing flexibility. This wasn't just about creating a new product; it was about reimagining what was possible with additive manufacturing technology.

"Innovation and flexibility are not just characteristics of our products, but core values that define our way of working and our vision for the future."

At Recreus, we saw the opportunity to change this, to introduce a material that would break with conventions and unleash the true potential of Additive Manufacturing. Filaflex was not simply a new product; it was a statement of intent, a promise that flexibility had a fundamental place in the future of 3D printing.

This vision led to countless hours of research, testing, and refinement. The journey wasn't easy, but our commitment to innovation never wavered. We faced technical challenges, skepticism from the industry, and the inherent difficulties of pioneering a new technology. But with each obstacle overcome, we moved closer to our goal.

Filaflex: The Legacy of a Pioneer that Continues to Inspire

Filaflex was not just a filament; it was the spark that ignited a revolution in 3D printing. By introducing flexibility, we opened up a universe of possibilities that were previously unimaginable. From creating customized clothing and innovative footwear to developing medical prosthetics and custom industrial components, Filaflex demonstrated that 3D printing could be much more than simply creating rigid prototypes. Its legacy endures to this day, inspiring us to continue exploring new boundaries and developing innovative materials that transform the way we create and manufacture.

Commitment to Quality and Sustainability: Values that Define Us

At Recreus, we believe that quality and sustainability are not just goals; they are principles that guide every decision we make. We manufacture our filaments in Spain, using the highest quality raw materials and adhering to the most rigorous production standards. We are proud to state that our products comply with ROHS and REACH regulations, ensuring they are safe for you and the environment. Additionally, we are committed to sustainability through the circular economy. Our name reflects this philosophy: Recreus stands for (RE)CYCLE, (CRE)ATE, and (US)E. We strive to minimize our environmental footprint by using recycled materials like Reciflex and adopting responsible practices at every stage of our production process.
