Introducing MDS1 All-in-One solution for your material moisture control

Trusted BY

Material state is a key variable for success

3D printing filaments are hygroscopic, absorbing water from the atmosphere, and therefore need drying to perform at their best. In injection molding it is common practice to dry the material filament before use and most 3D printing filament is composed of the same base resins..

Over 50% of new filaments need to be dried before printing.

In some materials, even small amounts of moisture can compromise an entire print. Our data shows, that even new filament, just opened from a sealed box, often needs to be dried for best performance.

Introducing MDS-1 Material Drye

All in one solution for your filament moisture control

Fast

The in-line design dries only the section of filament to be 3D printed, reducing the amount of work needed.

Intelligent

Smart sensors help to dry the filament to the best 3D printing condition, avoiding any damage to the filament. The in-line design also avoids multiple heat cycles.

User Friendly

A user friendly UI guides the user all the way. Exchangeable and rechargeable desiccant cartridges help to eliminate down time.

Safe

Smart sensors detect filament movement and condition and adapt the internal settings accordingly.

Versatile

Any spool format or size can be used with Drywise thanks to the in-line architecture. Drywise is available in 1.75 or 2.85mm versions

Have you experienced the following?

Effects Of moisture

  • Subpar surface finish
  • Dimensional inaccuracies
  • Poor mechanical properties
  • Inconsistent material extrusion

Hidden costs
of Moisture Damage

Valuable time is lost planning material drying, researching the correct drying parameters and handling material.

The filament needs to be optimally dried before printing. This takes many hours (even days) depending on the state of the material. This could delay scheduled production.

Full utilisation of the machinery at hand is very difficult as filament needs to be planned and dried days in advance.

Even when following standard operating procedures, different results can be expected. There are many unknowns that affect the process, initial humidity in the filament, relative humidity of the environment, rate of moisture loss in the oven, etc…

After drying, other devices are needed to keep the filament in a good state.

Multiple heat cycles, needed over the course of a spool if this is not used up immediately, eventually degrade the material quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most frequent questions and answers

A large majority of 3D printing plastics absorb moisture from the surrounding air which can significantly impact the quality of your 3D prints. These plastics are known as hygroscopic. As the filament is extruded, moisture absorbed in the plastic will rapidly expand, boil and rupture, forming bubbles in the extruded plastic. These bubbles can have a significant impact on the surface quality, layer adhesion and mechanical performance of your 3D printed parts. To avoid this, we recommend using Drywise in-line filament dryer.

3D printing plastics are prone to take in ambient moisture, which results in reduced print quality. Our dryer pre-treats the filament to best printing conditions.
