Ultimaker - PVA Removal Station
Removing support material: quick and easy
With the Ultimaker PVA Removal Station, you can post-process complex parts and prototypes more quickly and easily.
The washing station, featuring a magnetic rotor and adjustable speed, dissolves PVA support material within a few hours. All you need to do is add water. As part of the Ultimaker 3D printing solution, the washing station enables an even faster design iteration process with minimal time required from the operator.
Benefits of the Ultimaker PVA Removal Station
Remove PVA up to 4 times faster
The Ultimaker PVA Removal Station offers a high-speed dissolution process driven by a magnetic rotor. Compared to still water in a makeshift container, this circulation removes PVA up to 4 times faster and can reach hard-to-access cavities in complex designs.
Post-processing takes care of itself (almost)
The Ultimaker PVA Removal Station is a complete solution: it reduces the effort required by 80% compared to a makeshift PVA removal solution and requires minimal maintenance and cleaning. Focus on more important tasks whilst the post-processing of 3D prints takes care of itself.
Clean work
Less effort, less mess: the reliable, user-friendly and easy-to-monitor PVA Removal Station ensures the cleanest possible workspace. The device also indicates when the water needs refreshing. The used tap water can be easily disposed of down the drain.
Further highlights of the ULTIMAKER PVA Removal Station
- A magnetic rotor circulates water alternately in different directions so that the water reaches all the cavities of a print and the PVA is removed as effectively as possible.
- The rinsing basket ensures that the print remains in place and is completely submerged. Dimensions of the rinsing basket: 200 x 230 x 165 mm (7.8 x 9 x 6.4 inches), water tank capacity: 13.7 litres
- Adjust the rotor speed to suit your printed part: a slow speed is recommended for fragile or delicate parts
- Thanks to the transparent, illuminated container, you can monitor the PVA removal process. You can see immediately when your part has finished washing.
- The removable, ergonomically shaped container and the magnetic rotor make cleaning easy.
- No harmful chemicals or additives. You only need tap water, which you can safely dispose of once the process is complete.
- The lid, which can also be used as a tray for transporting the prints, the standby position of the washing basket and the spout in the container make it easy for you to keep your workspace clean and tidy.
- Can also be used with third-party support material
