Using Ultrasonic Cleaners to Remove 3D Printed Mold Supports

3D Mold Support Removal with Ultrasonic Cleaner

3D printing, encompassing technologies like fused deposition modeling (FDM) and fused filament fabrication (FFF), has revolutionized manufacturing by significantly reducing the cost and complexity of traditional molding techniques, such as lost wax casting. By utilizing compatible thermoplastic materials like ABS for the part and PLA for removable mold supports, 3D printing enables the rapid creation…

5 Key Points to Selecting the Correct Ultrasonic Cleaner Size

How to Select an Ultrasonic Cleaner Size

Ultrasonic parts cleaners are manufactured in a tremendous variety of sizes.  By “size” we mean the dimensions and capacities of tanks in which ultrasonic parts cleaning is accomplished.  For example the Elmasonic E Plus series is offered in 9 tank capacities from 0.25 to 7.5 gallons and the Select Series in 11 capacities from 0.7…

Boost Efficiency with an Ultrasonic Cleaner

Tovatech Case Study

In my shop selecting the correct ultrasonic frequency to employ when operating the ultrasonic cleaner depends on the items being cleaned and what is being removed. Coarse cleaning to remove heavy contaminants is generally best performed at lower frequencies such as 37 kHz because it delivers stronger cavitation action.
