WARNING

Fire hazard: Note that if IPA is used for washing, the equipment must be certified for use with flammable liquid and Washing Unit manufacturer instruction for classification of surrounding areas must be respected.

Orbital Shaker

One option for a large parts washing solution is an Orbital Shaker with:

  • a maximum greater than or equal to 200 RPM,

  • an amplitude greater than or equal to 20 mm (0.79 in), and

  • a platform size of at least 300 x 200 mm (11.81 x 7.87 in).

A plastic container will need to be purchased separately. The platform size with the container will determine the maximum allowable part size.

Note: The ELMI S-3.02 20L Analog Orbital Shaker 20mm Amplitude with Large Platform is recommended. See website for details.

Ultrasonic Cleaner

A second option for a large parts washing solution is an Ultrasonic Cleaner with:

  • a frequency between 37-40 Hz,

  • power/volume greater than or equal to 18W/L, and

  • a tank size greater than or equal to 327 x 300 x 200 mm (12.87 x 11.81 x 7.87 in).

The tank size will determine the maximum allowable part size.

Note: The ELMA Ultrasonic Cleaner: 4.7 gal Tank Capacity, 11 51/64 in Tank Dp, 7 7/8 in Tank Ht is recommended. See website for details.

Drying, Thermal Curing, and Annealing Oven

The Shop System Drying Oven from Desktop Metal is recommended for all drying, thermal curing, and annealing purposes.

Curing Unit

The UVCA 3000 UV is the UV light flood lamp for the post-processing of UV sensitive curing materials for industrial and consumer goods applications. This final step after 3D printing and cleaning a printed part results in higher strength and stability as well as ensuring a thorough cure. The UV Light Curing Box for Xtreme 8K™ includes a rotating inner table to maximize exposure of all parts of the model to the UV light.
