Article Synopsis
- - This study focused on identifying and analyzing the aerosol emissions from a fused-deposition modeling 3D printer, aiming to better understand both the emissions' characteristics and the underlying processes.
- - Measurements showed that average aerosol emissions varied significantly depending on the type of filament used, with acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) producing the highest emissions and wood-infused polylactic acid (PLA) the lowest.
- - Raman spectroscopy revealed that the aerosols emitted during printing did not contain key chemical components of the ABS filament, indicating that the aerosols are not simply formed from the filament volatilizing or directly releasing particles.
