Description
The scaWaterjet is a water jetting spray booth capable of coarse and fine support material removal for various AM processes. The capability to be plumbed direct or used stand-alone with an included mobile water tank allows for industrial uses or difficult-to-plumb situations such as offices. It features a gasketed window with internal mount wiper blade assembly for clear view of the LED-illuminated work area, ergonomically-considered front cabinet design & gloved ports for operator part handling, with two water-jetting spray wands – both capable of high- and low-pressure operation to fit the needs of support removal for your delicate and rigid parts alike. The covered mobile support frame minimizes collection of shop debris and dust inside the cabinet, while also allowing for a sit/stand option for operators, with easy access to the pump and holding tank. The scaWaterjet was specifically designed to meet your AM-based water spray & jetting needs.

FAQs
What 3D printer types are compatible with the SCA?
The SCA support removal systems are compatible with any 3D printers utilizing Soluble Support Technology (SST) materials for supports. This includes soluble support materials that work with ABS, ASA, PC, and nylon filaments.
In what way does the SCA eliminate support material from 3D prints?
The SCA cleanses 3D printed parts by immersing them in heated water mixed with a mild cleaning solution, which effectively dissolves the soluble support material. The design of the SCA models optimizes the process to reduce the duration required for support material removal.
What types of cleaning agents can I use in the SCA?
The SCA is filled with water and a small portion of either a sodium hydroxide-based solution (WaterWorks) or an eco-friendly option (EcoWorks). Standard tap water is sufficient for filling the SCA tank; there’s no need for distilled or filtered water. For quick support removal, WaterWorks Soluble Concentrate P400SC is recommended, while EcoWorks offers a gentler cleaning alternative.
How can I determine when to replace the cleaning solution?
Typically, the SCA-1200HT can handle 2.4 lbs. of support material before the solution needs changing, while the SCA-3600 can process up to 5 lbs. Look for these signs to know it’s time for a change:
– The tank appears cloudy or lacks clarity.
– White ABS parts may start to exhibit brown or yellow discoloration.
– Printed parts might develop a sticky residue or stick together due to excess dissolved solids.
– Functional components may not operate as intended.
– Support material remains after an extended cleaning cycle.
– The solution’s pH level decreases significantly.
How much cleaning solution should I use?
For the SCA-1200HT, one bottle of WaterWorks or 6 EcoWorks packages is sufficient. Meanwhile, for the SCA-3600, it’s best to use 2 bottles of WaterWorks or 13 EcoWorks packages. If you’re using a different cleaning solution, refer to the manufacturer’s guidelines for the correct amount.
What is the approximate time needed to remove support material?
The duration for support removal can vary based on factors such as part geometry, size, the cleaning solution utilized, pH levels, and material types. Initially, plan for about four to five hours. You can check the progress during the cleaning cycle and remove parts as soon as the support material is dissolved.
Can the SCA be operated overnight or continuously without concerns for safety?
Absolutely. All SCA systems have undergone testing for continuous operation at the recommended temperatures and are designed with safety features that facilitate unattended use.
How should I dispose of the used cleaning solution?
Disposal guidelines differ based on location. To determine the appropriate disposal method, refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet provided with the cleaning concentrate or consult local regulations and authorities.
