Overview The SCA 3600 Support Cleaning Apparatus (SCA) is designed to remove soluble support from FDM parts (PLA, ABS, PC, nylon) and Material Jetting (MJ) parts (UV Cured Resins) using water or approved caustic cleaning solutions. How it works The SCA removes support material by immersing parts created with soluble support material in a bath consisting of water or cleaning solution.

Cleaning the parts To activate the cleaning cycle after setting the time and temperature, and adjusting the liquid level, press the button. Illuminated bars will sweep under the temperature display when the pump is operating. Parts can take a few hours or longer to clean. Cleaning time is affected by the size of the part, the amount of support material, part geometry, and the pH level of the cleaning solution.
