Formlabs VOC Extractor for 3D printers

Formlabs VOC Extractor for filtering volatile organic compounds during SLA printing

VOC Extractor is a compact air filtration module designed to reduce the concentration of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during photopolymer 3D printing. The system uses two charcoal filters with an approximate resource of 330 printing hours and supports three fan speeds for adjusting the intensity of the air flow. The device is compatible with Formlabs Form Studio 1 and Form 4 3D printers.

Key advantages of VOC Extractor

• Two charcoal filters. The air passes through two filtering elements that help reduce the concentration of volatile organic compounds during work with photopolymer materials.
• Resource of about 330 printing hours. Charcoal filters are designed for approximately 330 hours of use, which allows planning their replacement according to the intensity of equipment operation.
• Quick filter replacement. The design of VOC Extractor allows replacing charcoal filters in a few seconds, simplifying system maintenance.
• Three fan speeds. The possibility to choose one of three modes allows adjusting the intensity of the air flow according to the needs of the working process.

VOC control during photopolymer 3D printing

During work with photopolymer resins, volatile organic compounds can be emitted. VOC Extractor helps reduce their concentration by passing air through two charcoal filters, supplementing the ventilation system of the working space.

Some components of photopolymer resins may have sensitizing properties. Therefore, when working with materials, it is necessary to follow the manufacturer's recommendations and safety measures indicated in the relevant safety data sheet (SDS). The use of VOC Extractor does not replace proper room ventilation and other necessary protective measures.

Application and compatibility

VOC Extractor can be used in laboratories, offices, educational institutions and production premises where compatible photopolymer 3D printers are used and it is necessary to reduce the concentration of volatile organic compounds in the air.

The system is compatible with Formlabs Form Studio 1 and Form 4 and is used as an additional filtration module during equipment operation.
