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.
