Due to the growing maker culture, maker spaces using multiple fused deposition modeling (FDM)-3D printers have spread around the world. However, the 3D printing process is known to cause the release of ultrafine and fine particles, which may have adverse health effects on occupants. Therefore, this experiment-based study was conducted on FDM-3D printers placed in an actual makerspace by the following three scenarios: the number of operating FDM-3D printers, ventilation, and measurement location to compare the concentrations of ultrafine and fine particles. In addition, the deposited dose in alveolar region for ultrafine and fine particles was predicted using a respiratory deposition model to analyze the potential health risk on occupants. As a result, the scenario-based comparison revealed that if the number of operating 3D printers is reduced by less than half, the potential health risk can be decreased by 34.1%, proper ventilation can reduce potential health risk by 55.5%, and working away from the 3D printer can also reduce potential health risk by up to 27.5%. This study analyzed the potential health risk of multiple FDM-3D printers on users in an actual makerspace, and proposed various improvement measures to reduce the potential health risk of ultrafine and fine particles.
