More Materials. More Possibilities
Drywise makes it easy to print with demanding technical plastics as it eliminates the guesswork from the drying process. With an ever-growing list of certified materials, just select the right material from the list and get printing, leaving the smart drying technology to take care of all the parameters.
- The presence of moisture in filament can potentially cause print failure and affect the mechanical properties of the printed part.
- Drywise ensures consistently dried filament and eliminates multiple drying cycles and material degradation.

Why Is Filament Drying Important?
Hygroscopic FDM filaments tend to absorb significant amounts of moisture from the environment. Over the course of a few days, these materials can reach moisture content levels high enough to prevent you from achieving successful prints. The presence of moisture in filament can cause a number of visible effects such as poor surface finish, stringing, and oozing as well as less visible effects on the mechanical properties of your finished part. As a result, moisture-sensitive materials will need to be dried prior to printing.
- Telltale signs that you are printing with wet filament include hissing and popping sounds, as well as inconsistent material extrusion and nozzle blockages.
- Commonly affected material types include PET, PEEK, PEI, PC, and most notably Nylon or PA-based materials.
- Note: Drywise does not currently support PEEK, PEI, or PC materials.
Experience Active Drying in Real Time
However long your 3D printing process is, Drywise will make sure the material is consistently dry throughout the whole print. It does this by processing the right amount of material at just the right time. This also eliminates material degradation, which usually occurs, due to thermal cycling.
- With Drywise, long prints have never been more consistent. While oven-dried filament will reabsorb filament quickly from the environment, tests have demonstrated that parts dried will retain performance throughout the duration of long print jobs.
