BASE | Automated Support Removal

The PostProcess® BASE Automated FDM Support Removal Solution offers a large envelope to deliver uniform, high-quality results for every part, regardless of geometry. The BASE uses Volumetric Velocity Dispersion (VVD) spray technology to provide support removal for both delicate to robust large-format parts. Combined with PostProcess AUTOMAT3D® software and custom-formulated detergents, the BASE offers a consistent, hands- free operation with intelligent cycle programming and one-touch repeatability. Get ready to transform your post-processing workflow with reduced cycle times, unmatched efficiency and top-notch results.

  • Reduced cycle times
    Get results 6-9x faster with cycle times as short as 30 minutes!
  • Higher throughput
    Large footprint gives the ability to process large parts and batch sizes, leading to increased efficiency rates.
  • Optimal sustainability
    Uses 2-4x less energy than a common wash tank due to fast cycle times.
  • Reduced labor
    Automating the manual support removal step eliminates the need for expensive post-processing labor.
  • Minimized part breakage
    Customizable settings and lower exposure leads to less part breakage and preservation of fine-feature details, resulting in 10x less reprinting
  • Consistent results
    AUTOMAT3D® digital platform allows for one-touch operation with recipe storage for repeatable and consistent results.
