Technology within the manufacturing sector is rapidly expanding & pushing new boundaries.
Manufacturers in the US perform ⅔ of all private-sector R&D in the nation, driving more innovation than any other sector. (National Science Foundation)
Significant advancements have been made within the Aerospace, Automotive and Machining industries with particular regards to:
LASERS
3D PRINTING
INJECTION MOLDING
ELECTROPLATING
New technologies and processes have created nano-sized respiratory hazards.
Additive manufacturing processes such as 3D printing have shown to generate nano-sized, ultra-fine particles (UFP).
When heated, the plastic filament emits particles containing ABS, PLA and other composite materials into the air.
UFP is a respiratory hazard and, when inhaled, can travel through the nasal passages and deposit onto the lungs.
QUICK FACTS• Nanoparticles are invisible to the naked eye. • One nanometer measures 1/1,000,000,000 of a meter (one billionth).• A single human hair measures 80,000 – 100,000 nanometers wide.• Just because you can’t see nanoparticles, doesn’t mean you should ignore them.
