Additional Context
Voltage Vessels, based in Hawaii, has released Eclipse X9, a composite that combines recycled PETG with basalt fiber reinforcement for large-format additive manufacturing (LFAM). After several years of development, the material is now commercially available as both pellets and filament, and is undergoing evaluation at several LFAM facilities across different printer platforms.
The company is aiming the material at marine structures, tooling, buoys, unmanned surface vehicles (USVs), infrastructure parts, and other applications exposed to harsh coastal conditions.
Pellet supply covers robotic extrusion systems in the Caracol/CEAD category and gantry machines of the CMS/JuggerBot type, with bulk volumes offered for contract manufacturing. The filament comes in 1.75 mm and 2.85 mm diameters
