While 3D printing with various filaments, such as ABS or PC, volatile organic compounds in the form of ultrafine particles (UFP) and gases are created during the extrusion process. If the Printer is not equipped with an enclosure, These particles are emitted in the workspace during use. The UFPs produced usually have a diameter in nanometer range. If those particles were inhaled by a person who operates a 3D printer, it could cause serious health concerns.
In order to counteract and to ensure the health of the Printinue 3D printers operators, each printer should be equipped with a multi-part filter system.
The first part of the filter unit contains a HEPA filter, which filters UFP with a diameter of 1 μm up to 1 nm with a reliability of over 99.9 % and thus ensures that no harmful particles are emitted into the workspace.
