Filtrabox Compact X 3DP extraction unit

The Compact X 3DP is an efficient 3D printing fume extractor with a single fan and high-capacity three-stage HEPA filtration for superior performance, designed for medium to large 3D printers in a space-saving design. It exhausts, filters and recirculates clean air into the work area.

3D printing processes typically melt or sinter materials to produce products. The heat used in these processes can create ultrafine particles, gases or vapors. These contaminants can potentially affect your health and even cause wear and tear or damage to your equipment.

You can protect yourself and your equipment by using a 3D printing fume extractor that captures both particulate and gaseous contaminants. The pre-filter and HEPA filter capture fine particles, while the gas filter captures gases and volatile organic compounds.

Filtrabox fume hoods use a multi-stage filtration system. A pre-filter captures larger dust particles, followed by a HEPA filter that captures ultra-fine particles. Finally, a gas filter absorbs gases and VOCs (volatile organic compounds). The systems work together to effectively remove particulate and gaseous contaminants from the air.

The frequency of filter changes varies depending on the application and types of materials and printing process. However, most filters typically need to be replaced every 6 to 12 months. Longer intervals are common in FDM applications.
