Het inerte gas bij uitstek
Een edelgas is 1.38 keer zwaarder dan lucht en heeft een lage ionisatie-energie. Het gewicht ervan bepaalt het vermogen om het smeltbad tijdens het 3D-printproces te beschermen.

Helium for Additive manufacturing
Helium is an absolutely inert and very light gas. Its chemical and physical characteristics make it ideal for both PBF and DED 3D printing processes, but it is very rare and expensive, so it is mainly used in EBM processes given the low gas consumption that this process has. In DED processes it is often used mixed with other gases.

Nitrogen fo Additive manufacturing
Under normal conditions nitrogen is an inert gas but which at high temperatures can react with some materials also used in 3D printing. The use of nitrogen in this process is indicated for austenitic steel powders.
