Do you want to preserve your material properties, while preventing common printing failures such as: jams, soft/brittle parts, bad surface finish, bad extrusion flow, stringing, and more? Hybrid Drying Technology™ is the answer! View full description

Description

The Smart3D Multimaterial Dryer is the only current solution that integrates the Hybrid Drying Technology™ at the end-user level.

  • Preserve the properties of your materials- 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 3 hours, you can have the Dryer’s full storage capacity in perfect conditions and ready to use.
  • Dry up to 20 spools- Unlike other drying solutions on the market, the Smart3D Material Dryer can dry and store large 2.2kg spools, or up to 20 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- Smart3D's technology ensures that your previously humid filament will achieve its optimal dryness level.
     
     
     
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
  • 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
  • Extruder tip bubbles with a burst of steam, stringy or drooly

 

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.

 

Heat-based solutions cannot deal with moisture effectively

  1. Time - Drying cycles are typically 8-48 hours long

  2. Quantity - These solutions cannot process more than a few pounds of material

  3. Moisture rate - Achieving a relative humidity of less than 10-30% (depending on the material) is hard or even impossible with such techniques

  4. Versatility - Materials with different thermal properties may not be dried simultaneously

  5. Performance - Since this method depends on contact with dry air, moisture may be found even after a full drying cycle

  6. Cost - Up-to 10 times more energy efficient than heat-based solutions
