Description
Dobrzynska, Jankowski, and Borucka measure fumes and particles from home three dimensional printing in twenty twenty-six. Printers melt plastic thread layer by layer, which can release gases and tiny bits into room air. The team tested two common plastic types from several brands in a sealed chamber. They also heated samples to see what breaks off at high heat.
One plastic type, ABS, gave off far more gas and particles than the other. Its main gas is used in plastic making and is of health concern. The second type gave off more of a sweet smelling gas and some plastic softeners. Both types released some risky compounds. Brand mattered too, so the team urges good airflow.
