Is a 3D printer harmful to health?

Everyone has been thinking about this issue. In fact, the main reason is that the 3D printer will release some fine particles and organic matter during the printing process. If the worker is near the 3D printer, these harmful emissions may be inhaled.

Maybe you will have this kind of experience when the 3D printer has some special smells released during the use process.

How to solve this problem?

In fact, the easiest way is to install an air filter for 3D printer. You can use the advanced filter and the activated carbon filter. It is very effective. The HEPA filter is used in the air purifier fresh air system, and in the industry, it is used in cleanroom purification.

Why HEPA filters & Carbon filters can remove particles and smell?

The standard of HEPA filter is to filter particles with a diameter greater than 0.3 microns, and the efficiency is more than 99%. ( It also has a better efficiency for PM2.5 ) We know that the diameter of inhalable particles for human lung health must be at least 2.5 microns (PM2.5), so we often measure of air quality via PM2.5.
Therefore, the high efficiency filter removes 0.3 microns of particles and the efficiency is up to Above 99%, it has a very good filtering efficiency for PM2.5, which can remove particles harmful to the human body.

At the same time, we can choose to combine the activated carbon particles and the HEPA filter together. The internal porous structure of the activated carbon particles can adsorb toxic and odorous molecules, and its effect is very obvious. The most significant use case is a gas mask, which contains activated carbon particles.
