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.

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.

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.

Material Dryer System

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.

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

Say Goodbye To Production Flaws

  • Surface Flaws: Roughness, unevenness, and imperfections.
  • Dimensional Inaccuracies: Variations in size and shape, leading to misalignment and assembly issues.
  • Weakened Mechanical Properties: Reduced strength, durability, and performance.
  • Extrusion Problems: Inconsistent flow, clogging, and nozzle wear.

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.
