PLM Group has partnered with PostProcess Technologies, a provider of automated 3D print postprocessing solutions. The partnership means that PLM Group is now offering efficient, easy to use, postprocessing solutions for resin and wax removal, support removal, surface finishing in the Nordic region.
Automated 3D print postprocessing that allows you to scale
As 3D printing users are producing higher volumes, they inevitably face the challenge of manual postprocessing, regardless if they use FDM, SLA, MJF or any other technology. Eliminating these bottlenecks is key to a friction-free 3D print workflow that delivers on time and that can grow with your needs.
Another challenge is cleaning SLA and DLP printed parts. This is know to be both messy and cumbersome. Performing resin removal using traditional, manual methods and using generic solvents such as Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) is time-consuming. It is also prone to give you inconsistent results and creates an environmental concern in manufacturing facilities. It is also difficult to scale for resin-based 3D printing with these traditional post-processing techniques.
Using an advanced and automated postprocessing solution for resin or support removal will provide value to you as a user, regardless of volumes. An automated postprocessing solution enables higher throughput, quality, consistency, and sustainability in your additive manufacturing operations.
Safe, long-lasting chemistry for cleaning 3D printed parts
All of PostProcess Technologies’ chemicals have been designed with careful consideration of safety and handling. They also utilize low concentrations of several conventional chemicals. The detergent longevity offers high resin capacity. This means less downtime for detergent replacement, as well as reduced waste and disposal, which saves you time and money. The chemical longevity beats IPA solutions by cleaning 5x as many parts before reaching saturation.
The proprietary formulation offers low volatility and low odor. Their detergent is user-friendly and provides for a safer work environment compared to common solvent IPA. It has much lower vapor pressure and higher flashpoint and no requirement for an explosion-proof environment.
