Precision-Controlled 3D Printing Room for Picatinny Arsenal

The Challenge: Creating a Climate-Controlled Environment for High-Precision Printing

Picatinny Arsenal in New Jersey needed a dedicated room with consistent humidity and temperature control to ensure reliable results from their specialized 3D powder ARCAM printing process. We were tasked with delivering a turnkey modular solution that could be built to precise specifications and integrated seamlessly into ongoing facility operations.

The Solution: Fully Equipped Modular Versa-King Room with Environmental Controls

Porta-King provided a 16’ x 30’ x 12’ tall four-wall modular enclosure using 3″ Versa-King panels finished in almond-colored fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) over drywall on both the interior and exterior. The durable finish supports easy maintenance and long-term performance in technical environments.

The room included:

  • Steel roof decking and drop ceiling
  • Integrated LED lighting
  • Modular wiring system for quick and efficient electrical integration
  • Ductless split HVAC system for humidity and temperature control

Porta-King worked closely with subcontractors to manage installation of the HVAC system, all electrical components and dedicated power feeds required for the ARCAM printing equipment—ensuring that every element met government and technical requirements.

Key Benefits:

  • Environmental Stability: Precision HVAC design maintained required humidity and temperature conditions required for 3D powder printing.
  • Turnkey Execution: Porta-King managed subcontractors and installation to deliver a fully operational space.
  • Durability and Cleanability: FRP paneling provided a clean, durable surface ideal for technical processes.
  • Government-Focused Partnership: Porta-King’s experience working with Picatinny enabled smooth coordination and alignment with federal standards.
