3D printing is a multilayer process, and if the surface oxidises during this process, it remains trapped in the product. For this reason, oxygen and moisture traces must be reduced as much as possible, since there is no chance to repair damage, which can result in product loss.
The PBF process commonly uses nitrogen with materials such as stainless steel, or argon for other types of materials. We can help you analyse the best-performing mixture for your DED or PBF process. Another gas solution is helium, which is used in the EBM process, although only a small amount is consumed.
The FDM process uses argon, nitrogen and small percentages of hydrogen in argon, but only in the metal sintering phase. For further information, don’t hesitate to contact us.
Gases are essential in additive manufacturing technology because they help control the atmosphere during 3D printing processes, reducing oxygen and moisture traces that can affect surface quality, material properties and final product performance.
Nippon Sanso offers additive manufacturing solutions through the 3DPro® line, including gas supply, purification, gas control, recirculation and equipment designed to support process stability and printing quality.
Additive manufacturing processes can use gases such as nitrogen, argon, helium and gas mixtures, depending on the material, process type and application, including PBF, DED, EBM and FDM technologies.
Oxygen and moisture can oxidise the surface during multilayer 3D printing. When this happens, the oxidation can remain trapped in the product, affecting quality and potentially causing product loss.
In Nippon Gases we have developed various qualities of gases to adapt to your applications. Call us or write to us and we will help you get the most out of it.
