Gas-phase Transport Limitations and Activated-Carbon Filtration in Enclosed FDM Printing Chambers
Medicine, Original Research, Volume 6 Issue 4 • October 16, 2026Abstract Desktop fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printers are increasingly used in homes, schools, and laboratories, but high-temperature materials such as ABS can release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that accumulate inside enclosed spaces. Activated-carbon filters are commonly used to reduce these emissions, yet many filtration designs focus primarily on carbon quantity while giving less attention …
