Ensure the highest quality gas supply to your 3D printer with 3DPro® Dry Gas Tube
Ensuring high-quality gas delivery to your 3D printer
The quality of the gas supplied to a 3D printer is crucial. However, there is a risk that the gas arriving at the printer may not retain its original characteristics. This is because the 3D printer is often connected to the gas distribution system through a flexible hose made of PTFE, a porous material that can allow air and moisture to permeate.

Tailoring gas protection for each material
The delicate art of protecting each material in 3D printing
In the world of additive manufacturing, every material requires a unique protective gas to ensure optimal performance and quality. This is because each material has distinct metallurgical characteristics and reactivity to air, necessitating protection throughout the entire 3D printing process.
The presence of impurities in the protective atmosphere, introduced during the process itself, can lead to defects in the final product. These defects result in a loss, emphasising the critical role of gas in additive manufacturing. The choice of gas depends on its compatibility with both the process and the material being used.
Our team of experts is here to guide you in choosing the most suitable gas for your material and process requirements, ensuring high-quality, defect-free products.
3DPro® Dry Gas Tube
The length of the tube used to supply gas to a 3D printer can significantly affect the level of air impurities that reach the printer.
The 3DPro® Dry Gas Tube is a three-layer protection from air impurities. These layers combine lightweight, durability, toughness, and heat resistance to ensure the gas remains uncontaminated and maintains its high quality throughout the additive manufacturing process.
