Introducing the Drywise

by Erin Oliver August 08, 2023

This spring, my team and I had the pleasure to see the Drywise active filament dryer, from Thought3D, in use in person at RAPID TCT. I have to say, Thought3D, the longtime makers of the Magigoo line specialty filament adhesives, have outdone themselves. The Drywise active filament dryer is the perfect add-on for getting the best results in printing nylon, TPU, and other hygroscopic materials. We received our first shipment of Drywise machines and we are excited to share our own firsthand print findings with you. The Drywise comes in both 1.75 and 2.85 versions to be compatible with a wide range of machines. The Drywise also has a heated prefeeder add-on for use with glass fiber, carbon fiber, and other abrasive materials.
