The Drywise filament dryer takes the guesswork out of 3D printing hygroscopic materials. Drywise needs approximately 50 minutes to pre-treat the filament and bring it to the best printing conditions before 3D printing can begin. An inline drying design ensures that long 3D prints will always be printed with uniform material dried at the best printing conditions.

Characteristics:

• Fast
• Intelligent
• Easy to use
• Safe
• Upgradeable

Being an inline system, the Drywise dryer only dries the part of the filament used for printing, during the 3D printing process instead of drying the entire spool. Conventional methods can take up to 48 hours to dry wet filament and can damage the filament spool and/or the filament itself. The filament drying process is pre-calibrated and customized for each material type, eliminating the guesswork required when using traditional drying methods.

Why is filament drying important?

Hygroscopic FDM filaments tend to absorb significant amounts of moisture from the environment over the course of a few days. Some materials cannot be printed out of the box due to the high moisture levels already present in the material. The presence of moisture in filaments can cause visible artifacts during printing, including poor surface finish, lint formation and bleeds. Moisture in the filaments can potentially cause printing errors and potentially affect the mechanical properties of the printed part. As a result, moisture-sensitive materials must be dried before printing, however without special storage or pre-treatment the print quality can still deteriorate significantly, especially over the course of a longer print.

Main features of Drywise

• Fast: An inline design only dries the section of 3D printed filament, reducing the amount of work needed.
• Intelligent: Intelligent sensors help dry the filament in the best 3D printing conditions, avoiding overheating and over-drying.
• Easy to Use: An easy-to-use user interface guides you all the way. Interchangeable and refillable desiccant. The cartridges will eliminate downtime.
• Safe: Smart sensors detect moments of inactivity and turn off the heaters to ensure safety.
• Upgradeable: The list of certified filaments with calibrated settings is constantly growing.

Available for 1.75 and 2.85 mm
