Risks of 3-D Printing Pens
Pubblico3-D printing pens have been increasing in popularity over the past few years and are easily accessible with a simple online order. Only being out for about 8 years, there is limited research on the risks relating to the pens and the filaments they use. In this project, we analyzed published data on filaments used in 3-D printing pens and potential risks they may pose, such as from Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and Ultrafine Particles (UFPs). Using this collected data, we came up with recommendations for people to use 3-D printing pens with reduced exposure. Additionally, a testing plan was created to explore the exposure of a 3-D printing pen user under both typical-use and high-end scenarios.
