Removing Models After Printing
After printing models, you should allow them to cool as much as possible
before handling them. If additional models do not have to be produced on
the Objet30 printer, it is best to let the printed models cool in the printer,
with the cover closed, as long as possible.
If the Objet30 printer must be used to produce additional models as
soon as possible:
1. Let the printed models cool on the build tray for at least 10 minutes.
2. Very carefully, remove the models from the tray with a scraper or
spatula (supplied in the tool kit), taking care not to pry or bend the
model.
3. Place the models on a flat surface, and cover them with a cardboard
box or paper hood.
This allows the models to cool slowly and evenly.
4. Let the models cool for several hours.
Removing the Support Material
After printed models have cooled, the support material must be removed.
This can be done by different methods, depending on the size of the model,
how delicate it is, the amount and location of the support material, and
other factors. Use the following methods as a guide, and adapt them (or a
combination of them) for finishing the models you are handling.
Removing Excess Support Material 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 Material 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, shown in figure 8 ‐ 1 on page 8 ‐ 3.
WARNING: Wear protective gloves when handling printed models
before they are washed.
