Inhaling3D printer fumes poses several health risks. Studies have shown that exposure to these fumes can cause inflammation and irritate the eyes, nose, and
Thismeans they have the potential to reduce the indoor air quality, whilst also introducing health risks into the working environment. Risk assessments should be completed on all kinds of 3D printers, including desktop 3D printers, to understand the hazards they produce. Findings published in the HSE’s RR1146 – Measuring and INTRODUCTION Medical applications for 3D printing are expanding rapidly and are expected to revolutionize health care. 1 Medical uses for 3D printing, both actual and potential, can be organized into several broad categories, including: tissue and organ fabrication; creation of customized prosthetics, implants, and anatomical models; and 3Dprinting is gaining traction in research and development as a way to quickly, cheaply, and easily manufacture polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) molds. The most commonly used method is resin printing, which is relatively expensive and requires specialized printers. This study shows that polylactic acid (PLA) filament printing is aTheaim of this study was to determine concentrations of particulates and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from 3D printers using polylactic acid (PLA) filaments at a university workroom to assess exposure and
