Printing hygroscopic materials like TPU across multiple manufacturing facilities with varying humidity levels used to cause major quality inconsistencies. Drywise has been invaluable as a quality assurance tool, using its pre-calibrated profiles and inline drying to ensure our materials are perfectly dry before reaching the extruder.

It significantly reduced our humidity issues, allowing us to maintain consistently high print quality, minimize material waste, and achieve absolute specifications across all our European locations.

Drywise has proven to be a total game-changer for us at BAC. Traditional drying methods were consuming huge amounts of energy and time, which made running our 98-hour prints a persistent challenge. Since integrating Drywise directly into our workflow, we no longer waste hours pre-drying materials, and our energy consumption during active printing has dropped by over 45%.

It ensures consistent filament condition throughout our entire long-duration prints, allowing us to maintain the peak part accuracy and surface finish required for our supercars without wasting material.

We are impressed at how well Drywise enables engineering parts with materials that are hygroscopic. Typically, these materials are difficult to print, require extensive drying prior to printing, and in some cases even degrade on the time scale that printing a part takes, so they have to be stored in anhydrous circumstances during printing. All this is a hassle.

With Drywise, it has become as simple as loading the filament, and after the pre-heat pre-dry cycle, just start printing with a guaranteed well-conditioned filament. Therefore, it is no surprise that we recommend using the Drywise for any hygroscopic filament, such as polyamides / nylons. Drywise has been certified by UltiMaker as a third party hardware to work well with UltiMaker S-Line 3D printers.

Integrating innovative materials from Fiberthree, paired with Drywise filament dryer into our production process has been a groundbreaking move. We have dramatically improved our printed parts quality and reliability while still leveraging the flexibility of in-house production.

Further we’ve cut our drying times significantly, the quality of our prints has improved remarkably, and we’re seeing much less material waste. It’s truly revolutionizing the way we produce our Auriol drones.

The project for the circular PA6 material had hit a roadblock. The material was ready but due to its very high moisture sensitivity and the lack of technology enabling in-line drying, it had to be placed on hold.

Drywise is the solution we were waiting to enable this material, allowing it to be reliably 3D printed every time, and finally unlocking the circular economy to Additive Manufacturing.

We’ve been so impressed with what Drywise can do that we’ve started using the device for other 3D printers and filaments, such as the carbon fibre options available with the Bambu Labs range of machines. So far, the results have been excellent.

Before Drywise, material handling was a time-consuming challenge, with off-the-shelf solutions leading to unreliable results. Drywise streamlined our workflows, saved significant costs, and bolstered our confidence in delivering top-tier print projects on schedule. We now are offering Drywise as the go-to solution for every Markforged customer.
