Abstract

Despite the fact that additive manufacturing technology has been around for decades, its radical uptake has only been seen in recent years. Today, they are not only used in industrial areas, but also in everyday household applications. At the same time, accidents and injuries have also occurred that were solely the result of the easy access to 3D printers. The risks of accidents and injuries in additive manufacturing arise in different areas. Burns, injuries caused by moving parts, electrical shocks, chemical accidents, as well as fire hazards and ergonomic problems have been reported. Minimising risks is impossible without proper personal protective equipment and adherence to safety measures, as well as professional handling and maintenance of machinery. Our aim is to draw the reader’s attention to the risk factors that can fundamentally influence the likelihood of injuries and accidents occurring.
