Chemical and Physical Characterization of 3D Printer Aerosol Emissions with and without a Filter Attachment.

Fused filament fabrication three-dimensional (3D) printers have been shown to emit ultrafine particles (UFPs) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Previous studies have quantified bulk 3D printer particle and VOC emission rates, as well as described particle chemical composition via ex situ analysis. Here, we present size-resolved aerosol composition measurements from in situ aerosol mass spectrometry and ex situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
