2 Overview
The HP Designjet 3D Removal System is specifically developed to provide efficient removal of
support material from models built with HP Designjet 3D printers.
How it works
The system removes support material by immersing models in a bath of water with a specific
amount of cleaning agent bags added to the cleaning agent receptacle. The system heats and
circulates solution around the models in the cleaning tank. The solution dissolves the support
material without harming the underlying model material. Over time, depending on geometry
and the amount of support material, all the support material is dissolved and the models are
ready to be removed, dried and used for their intended purpose.
The system incorporates the following functions:
• Automatic water fill
• User selectable cleaning tank level (half or full)
• Automatic water drain
• Automatic timing device for user selectable short, medium, or long cycles
• Automatic lock/unlock before and after cycling
• Automatic rinse and drain cycle
