Researchers are investigating the health risks associated with 3D printing, specifically focusing on the ultra-fine particles (UFPs) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released during the Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) process. When filament is heated to its melting point, it emits these particles and gases, raising concerns about their potential impact on human health. The study aims to understand these molecular-level emissions and their implications. AI
