Why does a glove box manufacturer need 3D printing? That is because Vacuum Technology Inc (VTI) invented a new trend in the glove box industry by using the 3D printing technologies that help meet the glove box’s modern requirements of precision, sustainability and even safety - a game changer!
VTI seems to have turned the tide as glove boxes were primarily made of plastics and metal which were pretty much useless as they both posed a threat to the environment through pollution. They also went through a wasteful production process. However, VTI’s 3D Printing technology precisely controls the amount of material and its shape which diminishes the burden on the environment. VTI's practices link together as the offset a lower carbon footprint combined with a more efficient production.
VTI manufactures eco-friendly products using 3D printing materials; however, as functional as these products were, they seemed to be quite difficult to sell or promote. This was due to their poor chemical and distortion resistance, their inability to withstand pressure and corrosion in addition to the fact they would fail while operating over longer periods of time. On the other hand, 3D printing technology changes things as it allows for each part of the glove box to be tailored according to the experimental requirements.
The material used for the glove box of VTI is sterile and eco-friendly which is useful in dust-free operations and also in experiments. Such industries deal with sensitive experiments and require a lot of attention. VTI also offers a Specialized glove box that has efficient unidirectional airflows, which prevents the intermixing of air particles present inside and outside the box. This box ensures that the point of contamination is controlled and secured. VTI's glove box will require little maintenance whether used for sensitive handling or cleanroom manipulations.
By using this eco-friendly 3D printing material, VTI not only accelerates the laboratory equipment's green transition, but also helps its customers in different parts of the world with smarter, safer, and environmentally friendly solutions.
