3D printing

The 3D printing process generates toxic fumes and airborne dust when operators are post-processing and finishing parts. Different additive processes produce various kinds of fumes and VOCs, such as plastic ABS, Nylon and PLA fumes which can produce a strong odor and toxic vapors. One of the most overlooked aspects of 3D printing is how to handle the particulate that is created from sanding, deburring and finishing 3D printed metal and plastic parts.
