What is a print enclosure?

A print enclosure is a modular structure designed to house 3D printers, industrial inkjet printers, or other printing systems. These enclosures control temperature, airflow, and contaminants to improve print quality, reduce emissions, and maintain a cleaner operating environment.

What types of printers can your enclosures accommodate?

Our print enclosures are compatible with 3D printers, resin printers, FDM machines, large-format inkjet printers, label and packaging printers, and custom-built additive manufacturing equipment. We size and customize each enclosure to your specific machine footprint and process requirements.

Why use an enclosure for 3D printing or inkjet printing?

Enclosures help regulate environmental variables such as temperature, humidity, and dust, which directly affect print quality and consistency. They also contain odors, fumes, and particulates, improving operator safety and reducing contamination.

Do your print enclosures support fume extraction or ventilation?

Yes. Our print enclosures can include HEPA filtration, carbon filters, and integrated fume extraction systems to handle VOCs, particulates, and emissions generated during printing. This is critical for maintaining indoor air quality and regulatory compliance.

Can print enclosures be climate-controlled?

Absolutely. We offer options for fully climate-controlled print enclosures with heating, cooling, humidity control, and static dissipation to maintain consistent environmental conditions that protect both the printer and the printed parts.

Are these enclosures modular and relocatable?

Yes. All of our print enclosures are modular, prefabricated, and easy to assemble or relocate. They can be expanded or reconfigured as your equipment or facility layout evolves.

Modular Print Enclosures

There are dozens of reasons to use a modular printer enclosure. It could be as simple as cleanliness, which in high volumes can be extremely costly if the environment is not clean. One of the biggest reasons that we have seen businesses choose our best-in-class modular printing machine enclosures over the past few decades is odor control, ink containment, maintenance and lighting. Each one of these is a different function that needs to be considered in the overall design of a printer enclosure.

Ink containment can be a real mess and if there is no way to stop the ink from splashing, the manufacturing floor will be extremely messy and stained forever. Your people have it all over their hands, clothing and it could jeopardize the next run if not cleaned properly.

Odor control is a good reason to enclosure a machine. In a large printing environment, the smell of ink gives some people a headache even if it’s non-toxic. We have designed printing machine enclosures to go around printing presses and exhaust the air outside or through a series of filters to keep in negative pressure inside the printer enclosure and the plant smelling clean.

When designing a modular printing enclosure, there are so many things to consider one of the biggest one is maintenance. Removable panels, doors or other ways to access the equipment to maintain it is crucial. And if need be, it should be easy enough to take down completely and move an entire section of the machine or expand the enclosure as necessary as the line increases and/or decreases.
