Materialise: A safe production process
Materialise is a pioneer in the 3D printing industry. The safety and health of its employees are just as important for the company as the products they create. Arizo conducted air quality measurements during 3D production to ensure a safe high-tech printing process.
3D printing is a revolutionary technology that presents unique safety and health challenges. The printers of Materialise work with various chemical substances, and additional substances are released owing to the heat from the printing process.
It is vital to ensure that all of these substances are safe for employees. “We want to be certain that people are not harmed when performing their work,” says Stephanie Theys of Materialise.
Arizo’s experts went to the site to carry out air measurements in the production premises over a period of time. In the analyses conducted afterwards, they examined the presence of potentially harmful substances and their precise concentrations in the air. Thanks to this approach, Materialise employees can work in a safe environment without health risks.
It is important that the measurements are carried out at Materialise when the 3D printers are in operation. “Arizo does not halt production, precisely because they need to conduct measurements when our production is running and at the moment the substances are released into the air,” says Stephanie Theys.
Any risks are thereby brought to the surface at once. At Arizo, we carry out measurements and analyses in specific production environments. The results are then assessed based on the particular situation which always leads to bespoke advice.
As a company, you can ensure the safety and health of your employees without jeopardising your production process.
