H1: Stainless Steel Drums, Specialty Containers, and Handling Systems for Additive Manufacturing
Containment and Control for 3D Printing Materials
In additive manufacturing, purity and precision define performance. American International Container (AIC) delivers engineered packaging and handling solutions that maintain both. Through our dual expertise, Specialty Container and Muller Processing, we support every stage of powder and resin management, from raw material storage to final part finishing.
Our stainless steel drums, specialty containers, and jerry cans are built to protect sensitive 3D printing materials, metal powders, polymers, and resins, from contamination, corrosion, and moisture exposure. Designed for cleanroom environments and compliant with UN rating and Hazmat packing group standards, AIC containers deliver consistent safety and reliability across every additive workflow.
Our two specialized divisions, Specialty Container and Muller Processing, serve manufacturers across the supply chain with reliable containment and handling systems tailored to the needs of beauty, fragrance, and flavor production.
Stainless Steel Drums for Additive Manufacturing: Built for Purity and Performance
Our stainless steel drums are engineered for the demanding conditions of additive manufacturing. Whether storing titanium powder, photopolymers, or composite materials, these drums ensure contamination-free storage and easy integration into automated handling systems.
We offer 50-gallon stainless steel drums, 55-gallon stainless steel drums, and 100-gallon stainless steel containers, available in both open head and tight head drum designs. Each drum is corrosion-resistant, electropolished, and compliant with UN rated drum requirements for international shipping and hazardous material containment.
Engineered Packaging Solutions for 3D Printing Materials
From metal powder storage to resin transport, additive manufacturers require packaging that’s as advanced as their process. AIC’s engineered packaging solutions are developed to safeguard high-value materials, streamline operations, and support regulatory compliance.
Our open head stainless steel drums are ideal for quick material transfer, while our tight head stainless steel drums provide airtight protection for moisture-sensitive powders. Both options are available in Packing Group I classification for hazardous materials.
Specialty Containers for Additive Manufacturing Operations
Handling additive materials requires specialized containment. Our specialty containers and specialty drums are designed for precision, safety, and modular integration with automated 3D printing setups.
Applications include:
- Powder containment and blending for metal and polymer 3D printing
- Moisture-controlled resin storage using high barrier film and EVOH packaging
- Intermediate bulk transfer of post-printing media and cleaning agents
- Hazardous waste packaging for post-processing residues
AIC’s corrosion-resistant materials and custom bulk containers minimize cross-contamination and simplify cleaning between production runs.
Müller Processing Systems for Automated Powder Handling
Through Müller Processing, AIC provides turnkey powder handling and dosing systems engineered for additive manufacturing environments. These systems integrate seamlessly with our stainless steel and composite containers, enabling:
- Automated powder refilling and recovery
- Closed-loop material transfer
- Dust-free and contamination-free workflows
- GMP-compliant and cleanroom-ready designs
Whether you’re working with titanium, aluminum, or nylon powders, Müller systems enhance safety and maintain consistent material performance.
Applications Across Additive Manufacturing and 3D Printing
Our stainless steel drums for additive manufacturing are trusted by leading 3D printing and advanced manufacturing operations for:
- Secure storage of powders and resins
- Inert material containment during processing
- Clean transport of finished parts or media
- Recycling and recovery of additive powders
- Safe disposal of hazardous waste packaging
AIC’s comprehensive solutions cover every step, from 3D printing packaging and supply logistics to specialty containers for R&D and prototyping.
