Career At Extrudr

Modern 3D printing is defined by precision,
performance, and ever-improving materials. But one aspect still goes under the
radar: indoor air quality. During FDM printing, even commonly used filaments
like PLA or PETG can release ultrafine particles (UFPs) and volatile organic
compounds (VOCs), especially when running for long hours or using elevated
temperatures.

In small or poorly ventilated rooms, these emissions
can accumulate over time. While usually low and often unnoticeable, prolonged
exposure, especially in environments with multiple printers running
simultaneously, can contribute to odor discomfort or potential health concerns.
This is particularly relevant in schools, creative studios, home offices, or
prototyping labs where 3D printing happens daily.

Smart Filtration for a Cleaner, More Comfortable 3d
Printing Experience

Filtration technology is advancing rapidly, offering
plug-and-play solutions that make it easier than ever to maintain a cleaner
printing environment. These systems are designed to capture VOCs and UFPs
directly at the source, reducing emissions during the printing process without
interfering with print quality or workflow.

One example is Alveo3D, based in the French Alps,
which offers a range of compact filtration systems tailored specifically for 3D
printing. Their P3D filter, among others, is a 2-in-1 solution that targets
both VOCs and UFPs while also helping to eliminate unpleasant printer odors, a
major plus in home or shared spaces where smell can be intrusive.

Designed to work with a
wide variety of setups, these systems are compatible with both homemade and
professional printer enclosures and support all major filament types, including
PLA, ABS and PETG.

Air quality and material quality do not compete.
They’re part of the same vision. Technologies like Alveo3D’s filtration systems
complement sustainable filaments by supporting a more thoughtful printing setup
overall. Together, they offer users a way to work in a more healthy and
responsible way without compromising on creativity or performance.

This kind of collaboration between material innovation
and environmental awareness will shape the next chapter of additive
manufacturing. As 3D printing becomes more embedded in education, design, and
industry, it's clear that responsibility and performance must grow side by
side.

At Extrudr, we’ve focused on minimizing emissions at
the material level through bio-based polymers, REACH- and RoHS-compliant
production, and transparent communication about sustainability. But even with
clean materials, the printing environment plays a key role. We believe that
good results require more than just the right filament. They also depend on how
and where you print.

That’s why we see clean production and clean
applications as two parts of the same system. From our manufacturing site in
Austria to the end user’s printing room, the entire chain should reflect care,
for the environment, for quality, and for people. When clean materials meet a
clean space, the result is not just a better print but a better process
overall.
