Design And Material Selection When 3D Printing Parts

Process scientist Vikash Kumar needed an airtight filament when 3D printing a jacket to control oxygen and carbon dioxide around his breathable shake flask wall. During Bioprocess Online Live "The Risk And Reality Of 3D Printed Parts In Single-Use Workflows," he explained that, since there was no product contact, the stakes were lower. However, for product-contact parts like benchtop bioreactor impellers, the qualification burden is much steeper.
