Cleaning Printed Parts
Clean the parts by soaking them sequentially in each solvent bath container, using the
sonicator as desired:
• BATH 1 - Dirtiest Solvent - Recommendation: Glycol Ether TPM or 99% IPA
• BATH 2 - Cleaner Solvent - Recommendation: 99% IPA
• BATH 3 - Fresh Solvent - Recommendation: 99% IPA
Two minutes in each bath in the sonicator is usually adequate for most resins, but this will vary
based on part geometry and resin type. After the parts have been soaked in BATH 3, wipe
clean and let air dry, or blast with compressed air to clean deep crevices. Be sure to let parts
fully dry before moving onto post curing to avoid print defects caused by any remaining
solvents.

WARNING: Skin contact hazard
Prolonged contact with resin can cause skin irritation. Do not continue before putting
on protective gloves.
Each material requires a unique cleaning process. Detailed material post-processing
information for each Origin One certified resin can be found on the Stratasys Support
Center.
