They took a very little F-Electric, and using their SEEM technology, which allows multi-material printing on single-head 3D printers, they printed this very cool, unibody flashlight of their own... (Read More)

Hi Everyone,I'm still hopeful that in the last few days, you will help us get the word out and enable all of you who have pledged to get your rewards and start 3D printing YOUR world's first idea. Here's a video of a working, 3D printed Arduino light... (Read More)

Hi All,Thanks you for your continued support, questions, comments, and general interest. I do have some encouraging, if incomplete, data on frequency response and bandwidth, but I've been holding out on a technical post because our first tests were... (Read More)

A comment on the Bloomberg/Businessweek site made me feel it is important to answer the article, at least for you who are backers here. I was described as someone with "deep pockets" who invented this material as a passion project and that I never... (Read More)

Both Businessweek and Bloomberg just published stories on Functionalize! Here they are below. If you haven't already, support us and share so we can make this material available for you to use first:... (Read More)

Functionalize Backers and Followers, I know we've been a bit quiet, but I assure you we are not still. Expect something to post from our recent work very soon. Until then, thanks for all of you who are spreading the word. Here's a quick recap of... (Read More)

Some of you have asked about frequency response of the material. For example, can it be used to connect to an I2c serial connection, etc. If we're going to be printing phones anytime soon, this is important information. I stopped by an old friends... (Read More)

I want to sincerely thank you all for backing us and helping us get this material to market. Here is a video explaining and measuring volume resistance of our material. I shot it on a cell-phone and didn't take time to cut it because I wanted to get... (Read More)

I'm working on some tests to answer a number of questions you've asked. The biggest question that I hope to answer to everyone's satisfaction is "what is the resistivity?" I will talk about it, explain how we calculate volume resistivity, and take... (Read More)

Thank you for your feedbackWe've heard comments, questions and concerns from you that we have found enlightening, informative, and helpful. I personally appreciate that even criticism we have received so far has been in the form of expressing concern... (Read More)

Science and technology are areas of study where one tiny spark can ignite the flame of innovation, especially when bright minds are working together. Frustration and need are also great motivators. The genius of the Functionalize F-Electric filament came about just that way, as Seattle scientist and entrepreneur Mike Toutonghi was working on a science fair project with his son, where he encountered some frustrating — and inspiring — challenges. (Read More)
