FAQs

What 3D printing technologies is the C1 compatible with?

The C1 is specifically designed for photopolymer-based technologies such as Polyjet and SLA. It effectively removes the support materials and resins used in these processes.

The process relies on a carefully calibrated interplay of chemical, thermal, and gentle mechanical effects. This synergy dissolves and dislodges support material without applying excessive force that could break fine part features.

Yes. While the system comes with standard processing recipes, the special software package allows you to program, modify, and save custom process sequences tailored to specific part geometries and materials.

The C1 features an automatic level sensor and replenishment system to maintain the optimal compound volume. An integrated saturation sensor monitors the compound’s condition, ensuring consistent cleaning performance and minimizing waste.

The processing space measures 340 mm (W) x 440 mm (D) x 170 mm (H), suitable for a wide range of part sizes, from small detailed components to larger prototypes.

Absolutely. The system includes a built-in grate with a drip edge and a removable screen for easy cleaning, containing the process and preventing spills, which ensures a safe and tidy workspace.

Key parameters like temperature, cycle times, and the degree of compound saturation are continuously recorded by a data logger. This provides full traceability for quality control and ensures result consistency.

Unlike manual methods (risk of breakage) or ultrasonic cleaning (which can be too aggressive), the C1 offers a controlled, gentle, and hands-off automated process. This guarantees higher throughput, perfect reproducibility, and no part damage
