Maximize your ROI: low to zero-waste 3D printing by recovering and re-using your unsintered powders

Home / Blogs

In 3D printing, residual powders from material loading, synthesis, and post-production stages can lead to inefficiencies, cross-contamination, and increased costs. Delfin's industrial vacuum systems address these issues by effectively recovering unsintered powders and minimizing waste. Their solutions enhance production efficiency and sustainability by integrating with leading 3D printer technologies. Contact Delfin to optimize your 3D printing process and boost ROI.

During the different phases of 3D printing additive manufacturing, many residual powders are released into the working environment, causing different kinds of inefficiencies. These phases are mainly material loading; aggregated and synthesized processes; and post-production. The continuous accumulation of these powders risks causing more downtime and prolongs the time necessary for maintenance operations. Consequently, production efficiency might have repercussions due to time-consuming procedures and increasing costs.

In the 3D printing sector, these are the most common risks, but not the only ones.

Because of the large quantities of residual dust, 3D printing manufacturing also faces cross-contamination risks which could compromise the subsequent printing processes and the quality of the finished products.

Moreover, some kinds of unsintered powders such as sand and plastic powders can be reused in multiple subsequent printing processes. If not properly vacuumed and recovered, these powders represent a considerable waste of resources, resulting in increased costs and further inefficiencies in the production process.Vacuuming process_dust removal from 3D Printer

How do you clean and safely collect combustible and hazardous dust?

In manufacturing, handling hazardous and combustible dust poses significant health and safety risks. Frequent and effective cleaning is crucial. This blog outlines OSHA and NFPA regulations, differences between hazardous and combustible dust, and Delfin Industrial’s tailored vacuum solutions for various industries, including pharmaceuticals, 3D printing, and food, to ensure maximum safety and efficiency.

Guarantee Safety in Additive Manufacturing and 3D Printing: Dust Hazard Analysis (DHA) and Explosion-proof Vacuum Systems

As additive manufacturing and 3D printing grow, safety in workplaces handling explosive and hazardous dust becomes crucial. Compliance with NFPA 652 is essential to manage risks associated with volatile organic compounds and ultrafine particles. Delfin offers NFPA 652-compliant vacuum solutions, including inert and explosion-proof systems, to enhance safety and efficiency in these environments.

3D Printing Process and the Importance of Powder-free Additive Manufacturing

3D printing transforms manufacturing with high efficiency and precision, but it also introduces challenges such as dust and VOCs affecting safety and productivity. Delfin offers specialized vacuum solutions, including inert dust collection and pneumatic conveyors, to address these issues. Their systems ensure clean air, safety, and efficient production.

Dry cleaning vs Wet cleaning: the benefits of dry cleaning in industrial applications

Choosing between wet and dry cleaning is crucial for maintaining a safe and efficient manufacturing environment. Wet cleaning uses water, which can cause bacterial growth, rust, and environmental issues. Dry cleaning, which avoids water, offers better hygiene, lower environmental impact, and reduced maintenance costs. Delfin provides effective dry cleaning solutions to ensure optimal performance and safety.
