Features summary

There is certain amount of water (moisture) in the ambient air. It can vary depending on the place, but there is always, at least a small percentage of water in the atmosphere.

This factor is now increasingly becoming a serious problem for 3D printing. It’s the source of a lot of issues like degradation or fragility.

All filaments absorb water but, some of them, such as Nylon, PVA or TPU (Flex) are prone to absorb moisture more easily than others. As a major rule, if you leave a filament “unprotected” for some time, it becomes worse to print with.

Preserve the properties or your materials

Our hybrid drying technology dries your filament and preserves its properties, ensuring your material is in its best conditions to be printed.

Dry over 10 times faster

This system allows the filaments to be dried much faster than any other current solution on the market. In less than 2 hours, you can have the Dryer’s full storage capacity in perfect conditions and ready to use.

Dry up to 30 spools

Unlike other drying solutions on the market, the Smart3D Material Dryer can dry and store large 2.2kg spools, or up to 30 1kg spools, depending on spool size.

Store your dry filament

The drying chamber also works to keep your filament dry. The controlled ambient chamber keeps the moisture out, so after drying your materials, you can keep them inside until use.

Achieve perfectly dry filament

Our technology ensures that your previously humid filament will achieve its optimal dryness level.

Why?

How can keeping your spools dry help?

These are a few indications of possible moisture content in your failed prints:

Filament cracks or popping noise as filament is pushed through extruder
Holes in the top of parts
Extruder tip bubbles with a burst of steam, stringy or drooly
Bad adhesion to bed
Repeated prints are inconsistent or fail with no change in parameters
Extruder motor stops but filament keeps coming out
Parts become soft, fragile, and break easily
Extruder jams

Why is humidity a silent killer for my 3D prints?

Precise control over the material’s mass flow rate is directly correlated with the moisture control of printed material. Moisture will lead to hydrolysis, breaking the polymer chains. In addition, while filament is melted in the hotend, moisture turns into vapor inside the hotend’s melting chamber, generating pressure. This pressure needs to be released, release that depends on the material’s viscosity. The result may be a back pressure jam or flow variations in the extrusion.
