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
Depending on the type of printer and the material we need to print, we use argon or nitrogen for 3D metal printing. We also use helium in the EBM (Electronic Beam Melting) process.
During sintering, which takes place after and not during printing, the FDM (Fused Filament Fabrication) process uses argon, nitrogen or mixtures containing small percentages of hydrogen. Please do not hesitate to contact us for further information.

Ar for AM Argon for Additive manufacturing +
Argon for additive manufacturingThanks to its chemical-physical characteristics, it is the most used gas for all additive manufacturing processes, mostly for those materials that are particularly reactive with oxygen or other air components.
-
N2 Nitrogen fo Additive manufacturing +
Nitrogen for Additive ManufacturingUnder normal conditions nitrogen is an inert gas but which at high temperatures can react with some materials also used in 3D printing. The use of nitrogen in this process is indicated for austenitic steel powders.
-
He Helium for Additive manufacturing +
Helium for Additive ManufacturingHelium is an absolutely inert and very light gas. Its chemical and physical characteristics make it ideal for both PBF and DED 3D printing processes, but it is very rare and expensive, so it is mainly used in EBM processes given the low gas consumption that this process has. In DED processes it is often used mixed with other gases.
