3D Printing CAD Design Product Dev Rapid Prototyping

The Soldering Fume Extractor is a portable filtration unit developed for professional and hobbyist workspaces. It utilizes an axial fan to draw flux fumes directly from the source through a replaceable active carbon filter, ensuring a clean and safe environment during long soldering sessions.

Fully designed in SolidWorks for additive manufacturing, the unit features a tool-less filter replacement system and an internal Li-Ion battery for full wireless deployment. The compact form factor allows it to fit on any bench without obstructing the workspace.

This project showcases how airflow design and 3D print optimization can converge into a functional, ergonomic tool for hardware engineers.
