BOFA offers a range of 3D printing filtration and atmosphere management technology for additive manufacturing (AM), including the enhanced-capacity 3D PrintPro 4 unit, which is part of the 3D PrintPro lineup. The unit features a filter exchange design and the company’s Intelligent Operating System (iQ).
The 3D PrintPro 4 is designed for large-format capability for fused filament fabrication, stereolithography, digital light processing and material jetting processes, delivering advanced, high-capacity filtration and optimal temperature control and airflow management.
The lineup also includes the 3D PrintPro 2, which filters emissions generated by small-format, open-framed or partially enclosed fused deposition modeling/stereolithography 3D printers. Another system is the 3D PrintPro 3, which is suited to medium-sized fused filament fabrication and small, enclosed stereolithography, multijet printers. The AM 400 printer uses technology to enable the safe on-site exchange of the filters that help remove potentially harmful particulate from metal AM processes.
“BOFA has continued to develop and enhance its range of additive manufacturing filtration and atmosphere management technology,” says Haydn Knight, BOFA sales and marketing director. “Through our innovations in the filtration of emissions and airflow control of high temperature processes, manufacturers can reap the rewards of productivity gains and safeguard product quality at the same time.”
