• Resin 3D printing releases harmful fumes and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during the printing process. It's important to be mindful of these risks and take precautions to protect yourself and those around you. Ensuring a safe resin 3D printing environment requires prioritizing ventilation and incorporating additional methods for your workspace.
    No single solution used alone will entirely remove the fumes.

Risk : Printing Process

Fumes are emitted from the printer during the printing process.

Risk : Handling Resin

Handling Resin directly exposes you to fumes and irritants.

Risk : Opening the Lid

All of the contained fumes are released when opening the printer lid.

Risk : Wash and Cure

The wash and curing process exposes you to IPA in addition to resin fumes. This may be the step with the greatest exposure.

Solution : Ventilation

Vent harmful fumes outside. Our 3D Venting solution removes fumes from the printing process while the machine is running.

Solution : Respirator

Especially during washing and curing, or handeling resin, you must protect yourself from direct exposure to harmful fumes and irritants.

Solution : Air Purifier

Use a high-quality carbon air purifier in your workspace that has a dense activated carbon filter designed to remove VOCs.

Solution : Fan to Bring In Fresh Air

When venting contaminated air outside, replace it with fresh air. It is important to have a fan moving fresh air into your workspace.

Solution : Open a Window

If you can, open a window.

Or use an enclosure around the printer.

Remember that any single solution will not be enough to maintain a safe workspace. You need to use these safety measures together.
