3DPro® Gas Line
High-purity gas to guarantee an accurate 3D printing process.
It is precisely for this reason, these two pollutants must be reduced as much as possible, since there is no chance to repair damages, which translates into product loss.
3DPro® Dry Tube
Multilayer hose to ensure the right amount of gas supplied to the 3D printer.
3DPro® Purifier
Filter cartridges with Nanochem technology to retain traces of oxygen and moisture in gases.
3DPro® Metal Cabinet
Inertised cabinet in the storage of metal powders for 3D printing.
3DPro® Link
A panel for total gas control management.
3DPro® Recirc
Filtration system for recirculation gas impurities in PBF 3D printers.
Effects of oxygen and moisture traces
3D printing is a multilayer process, and if during this process, the surface oxidises, then it remain strapped in the product.
Gases we use
The PBF process commonly use nitrogen with materials like stainless steel, or Argon for other types of materials. We can help you analyse what is the best performing mixture for your DED or PBF process. Another gas solution is helium, which is used in the EBM process, although being expensive for this process, it consumes a little amount.
On the other hand, the FDM process uses argonnitrogen and small percentages of hydrogen inargon, but only in the metal sintering phase. Forfurther information don’t hesitate to contact us.
-
Ar Argon for additive manufacturing +
ArgonThanks to its chemical-physical characteristics, Argon is a frequently used gas in the additive manufacturing processes. It's mostly used for those materials that are particularly reactive with oxygen or other air components.
-
N2 Nitrogen for additive manufacturing +
NitrogenUnder normal conditions, Nitrogen is an inert gas but at high temperatures it can react with some materials which are also used in 3D printing.
-
He Helium for additive manufacturing +
HeliumHelium is an inert and very light gas. Its chemical and physical properties make it ideal for both PBF and DED 3D printing processes. Since Helium is very rare and expensive, it is mainly used in EBM processes, which are known for their low gas consumption. In the DED process Helium is often used, but mixed with other gases.
-
3D Pro® sinter3 3D Pro® sinter3 for additive manufacturing +
This mixture is especially designed for the sintering process after the FDM process.
