  1. Why Need An Air Scrubbing For 3D Printer Enclosure? Are you wondering, “Do I need an Air Scrubbing 3D Printer Enclosure?”This is because the filament involved in the 3D printing process produces emissions that are harmful for the health and the environment. When it comes to 3D printing safety, the foremost concern is the generation of ultrafine particles and volatile organic compounds by the printers. To ensure safety from harmful airborne contaminants, one should consider getting an air scrubber for the 3D printer enclosure. Using the right air scrubbing for 3D printers will help to capture both gases and particles that the 3D printers release. When plastic filaments are heated up, they naturally release some fumes in the air. These fumes contain gases known as volatile compound. The greater concern is release of the ultra fine particles that are very minute. The particles can be absorbed into the blood stream through the lungs allowing them to spread throughout the entire body. Exposure to ultra fine particles has a higher chance of lung cancer and heart disease. How to use 3D printers safely? Environmental Friendly 3D Printing can be attained by many few changes that will help you and the environment safer. One change that one can make is to print in an open space with adequate ventilation. This will keep the fumes and particles released by the printing process from concentration. Next thing that makes your 3D printers safe from harmful air borne contaminants is consider getting air scrubbers for 3D printing enclosure. Using the right air scrubber can help clump up both harmful gases and ultra fine particles that 3D printers produce. What makes a good air scrubber for 3D printing? The main feature of a good 3D printing air scrubber is that it includes both carbon and HEPA filtration. This is important as neither type of filter is able to remove all of the emissions from 3D printing on its own. HEPA filters are designed to trap minute particles as small as 0.3 microns in size that means they are effective in capturing most ultra fine particles. Wrap up The best air scrubber for 3D printing is the one that has both HEPA and carbon air filters. This will ensure that any harmful pollutants are removed from the air making 3D printing sustainable and safe.
