The high temperatures generated in some additive manufacturing processes can rapidly project gases and particles into a technician’s breathing zone.
BOFA’s 3D PrintPRO models provide effective fume extraction and filtration rates in compact units, with optional speed control, to maintain cleaner print area and returns ultra clean, filtered air to operator breathing zones.
The use of lasers in additive manufacturing can produce smoke that obstructs the machine’s optical systems.
BOFA’s AM range provides effective particulate extraction and powerful gas flows for efficient clearing of processing chambers, which can significantly improve part quality.
Typical applications
VAT polymerization (SLA, DLP)
Laser powder bed fusion (PBF)
Binder jetting (BJ)
Sheet lamination
Material jetting (MJ)
Directed energy deposition (DED)
Material extrusion (FFF, FDM)
