Material Characterization of 3D Printing Polymers using Pyrolysis-GC/MS

Manufacturers are always seeking new technologies and developments that increase production efficiency and the quality of the produced parts. Many analytical protocols used to analyze 3D printing and coating components require multi-step sample preparation prior to chromatographic analysis. These procedures often include solvent extraction, filtration, and concentration. These traditional techniques are cumbersome, time-consuming, and suffer from analyst-to-analyst variability while producing data of limited value.
