SUP705 (FullCure705) Support material can be removed from printed models
using the following methods, in this order:
1. by hand
2. water pressure (in a suitable cleaning unit)
3. 1% caustic soda solution (recommended for a smooth finish)
Removing Support by Hand
While wearing protective gloves, break away excess Support material on the
outside of the model. For delicate models, use a toothpick, pin or small brush
after dipping the model in water.
Removing Support with Water Pressure
For most models, the most efficient way to remove Support material is by using a
high-pressure water jet. One suitable system is the Objet WaterJet cleaning unit.
This device is marketed by Stratasys.
Figure 7-1 Objet WaterJet Cleaning Unit
To clean a model using this device, you manipulate it and the water using the
built-in, waterproof sleeves. A pump turns ordinary tap water into a high-
pressure jet. A wiper keeps the window clear.
Use caution when cleaning delicate models with high-pressure water
systems.
