Real-time monitoring of volatiles and particles emitted from thermoplastic filaments during 3D printing
Abstrakt
The proliferation of consumer-grade three-dimensional (3D) printers using fused deposition, also known as fused filament fabrication, has given rise to concerns over the exposure of users to potentially harmful substances. Thermoplastic filaments made of different polymers are extruded through a heated printer nozzle and deposited layer by layer on a build platform to form the printed object. This process leads to the emission of both particles and gases, in particular volatile organic compounds (VOCs). While the emission of airborne particulate matter during 3D-printing has been relatively well researched [1], this is not the case with the monitoring of the associated emission of VOCs, and so we are far from understanding the emission profile of 3D-printers as a whole. The main reason for that is the difficulty with sampling the emitted volatiles with sufficient time resolution to investigate e.g. the effect of rapid heating of the nozzle, and so the available data mostly describes either the total emission of particular VOCs during printing, or the time-resolved emission of total VOCs, without the determination of particular compounds [2,3]. In order to bridge this gap, we have previously demonstrated that proton transfer reaction mass spectrometry (PTR-MS) can be used to monitor the emission of volatiles during 3D-printing in real-time, both qualitatively and quantitatively [4]. Here, we propose to combine this approach with the concurrent real-time measurement of the corresponding emission of particles to obtain a more detailed understanding of the profile of pollutants generated during 3D-printing and the factors which determine this process.
