3D printed models often feature intricate details, delicate surfaces, and complex structures that make cleaning a crucial part of post-processing. After printing, residual resin, dust, or support material often remains attached to the surface, dulling the model’s appearance and compromising fine details. Whether for display prototypes, architectural models, or artistic sculptures, achieving a clean and precise finish is essential to showcase the model's full quality.
Manual cleaning with brushes or wipes can easily damage fragile parts or leave unwanted streaks and residues. Ultrasonic cleaning, on the other hand, provides a gentle yet powerful solution. By using high-frequency sound waves to create microscopic cavitation bubbles, it removes resin, powder, and support residues even from deep cavities or undercuts—without affecting the surface accuracy or geometry.
During cleaning, the 3D printed model is immersed in a suitable cleaning solution—typically alcohol-based for resin prints or mild detergent for PLA/ABS models. Within just a few minutes, the ultrasonic process effectively dissolves and detaches contaminants. After rinsing and drying, the model regains its original clarity and sharpness, with every detail restored to perfection.
The results are impressive. Before cleaning, models often appear cloudy or have visible residue lines. After ultrasonic cleaning, the surfaces become smooth, glossy, and true to the designer's intent. For studios and makers seeking professional-level finish quality, ultrasonic cleaning ensures precision, efficiency, and a flawless final presentation.
