ZimpleKickstarter makes 3D printing safer for all

FDM 3D打印机在整个行业和家里都在台式机上占据重要地位。与所有电气设备一样,重要的是要在安全方面保持警惕,而巴黎初创公司Zimplehas come up with a nifty device to make 3D printing cleaner for everybody.

zimpure滤过系统,现在住在Kickstarter上,提取物在FDM过程中熔化的塑料产生的烟雾。

Creating an ideal work atmosphere

Zimplenotes that FDM can release two potential toxins:超细/纳米颗粒(UFPS)和挥发性有机化合物(VOC)气体. UFPs naturally exist in the air as a result of activities including cooking, peeling oranges or smoking. They are also emitted by laser printers, fax machines and photocopiers.VOC gases on the other hand are produced by植物,animals,甚至真菌。

即使有通风,在办公室或房屋中装有3D打印机也可以营造出比平常高10到20倍的UFP和VOC浓度的氛围,因为阅读使我的Zimple在一个小时的3D打印过程中。当然,这些条件远非每天工作和生活的理想选择。

The Zimple solution

An enclosed build chamber can prevent the dispersion of plastic related toxins through the air. But instead of having to retrofit a 3D printer with cumbersome panels, the Zimpure simply pops into the existing extrusion system.

最新版本的Zimple空气净化系统可以安装到大多数台式FDM 3D打印机上,看起来就像是在喷嘴中运行的第二条细丝。安装后,将毒素直接在源中提取,过滤99%的纳米颗粒,并超过90%的3D打印机发出的气体。

The system has been经过测试和批准by the French government’s Commissariat à l’énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives (CEA).

Kickstarter perks

Zimpleis looking for €10,000 to start Zimpure production at its new facility. The company already has an earlier successful Kickstarter campaign behind them. Early bird and super early bird backers have already claimed over 150 Zimpure systems just 24 hours after launch.

The campaign will close on 15th November 2017, with orders scheduled for February 2018.立即在Kickstarter上获得Zimpurefor between €99 (super early) and €129 (Exclusive Kickstarter discount).
