![]() The present paper presents a review on generation of particle emissions by the usage of ABS and PLA and the notable health risks caused by them. Comparative research works are also carried out to find the most suitable material for 3D printing as per output and emissions. Several factors lead to the concentration and impact of particle emissions such as process parameters, material used, chemical composition, etc. However, the filaments used in this process, namely Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) and Polylactic Acid (PLA) generate emissions which are harmful to the human health and long term exposure to them could possibly lead to life-threatening conditions. Fused Metal Deposition (FDM) is a 3D printing technique which is well known for its ability to produce complex geometries. Thermoplastics find very frequent applications in additive manufacturing processes. ![]() The major reason behind this is the emission of particles during the heating of thermoplastics used for 3D printing. ![]() As 3D printing technology is rapidly evolving, it's impact on human health is becoming a prime concern.
