A Study on the ways to solve Hazardous Chemical Emission from 3D Printing Process

Due to the promotion of STEM and STEAM education around the world and the expired patent of 3D printing technology, the cost of 3D printed become affordable and widely installed in office, school and at home. During the 3D printing processes, the materials were heated to melt, the hazardous chemical and small particles may be released to the atmosphere. However, many people do not aware of such a potential problem. This paper reviews the 3D printing process technology, the ingredients of potential hazard chemical emissions. Finally the ways to reduce the hazards are suggested to the 3D printer users.
