A Fume-Control Cabinet for Resin 3D Printing
A new fume-control cabinet has been developed for resin 3D printing to manage the toxic emissions produced during the process. The enclosure, designed by Allie Katz, utilizes IKEA cabinets and features a recycling air system with activated-carbon filters to ensure safety. Initial tests showed that the system effectively monitored and controlled VOC levels during printing.
- ▪The fume-control cabinet is designed for resin 3D printing, which involves toxic chemicals.
- ▪It features a recycling air system that uses activated-carbon filters to manage fumes.
- ▪The enclosure was constructed using IKEA cabinets and includes automation for monitoring air quality.

A Fume-Control Cabinet For Resin 3D Printing No comments by: Aaron Beckendorf May 29, 2026 Title: Copy Short Link: Copy For a certain kind of intricate, highly-detailed manufacturing, there’s really no substitute for a resin 3D printer, and it’s therefore unfortunate that they require so many poisonous chemicals. The resin itself usually contains irritating acrylates and methacrylates, it can emit a wide spectrum of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during printing, and even the isopropyl alcohol used in cleaning is moderately toxic. [Allie Katz] accordingly built this fume-control enclosure for resin printing and other ventilation-critical processes.
