Anycubic Wash & Cure 3 Post-Processing Station for Resin 3D Prints

The Anycubic Wash & Cure 3 is a professional-grade post-processing station specifically engineered for resin 3D printing enthusiasts and professionals. This dual-function device streamlines the workflow by providing both an efficient cleaning process to remove excess resin and a high-performance UV curing stage to ensure the structural integrity and surface quality of your 3D printed models. Featuring a compact yet powerful design, it integrates seamlessly into any workspace, offering a reliable solution for achieving high-quality results with every print.

Advantages

The device offers significant improvements in post-processing efficiency, featuring a 15% increase in curing volume compared to previous models, allowing for larger prints to be processed in a single session. The innovative gooseneck light design provides localized, high-intensity UV exposure, which is essential for curing complex geometries and delicate details that standard light sources might miss. Furthermore, the dual-layer cleaning basket design optimizes the use of isopropyl alcohol, reducing waste while ensuring that both the model and the build platform can be cleaned effectively. The enhanced light bead arrangement ensures 20% better curing uniformity, resulting in a consistent finish across the entire surface of the model.

Suitable for

• Post-processing of resin 3D printed parts
• Cleaning models to remove uncured resin residue
• UV curing of printed objects to achieve maximum material hardness
• Small to medium-sized production runs of resin components

When it may not be suitable

This device is designed exclusively for resin 3D printing post-processing and is not suitable for cleaning or curing parts produced via FDM (filament-based) 3D printing. Additionally, it is not intended for use with materials that do not react to UV light or for cleaning processes that require solvents other than those compatible with the provided cleaning bucket.

Key specifications

• Maximum build size: 165 x 100 x 180 mm
• Power consumption: 36 W
• Control interface: Touchscreen with LCD display
• Cleaning bucket capacity: 4 Liters
• Adjustable timer: 1 to 30 minutes
• Dimensions: 216 x 217 x 310 mm
• Weight: 2.7 kg

How to use

To use the Anycubic Wash & Cure 3, first fill the cleaning bucket with the appropriate cleaning agent, such as isopropyl alcohol. Place your printed model into the basket, ensuring it is securely positioned. Select the cleaning mode via the intuitive touch interface and set the desired duration using the rotary knob. Once the cleaning cycle is complete, swap the cleaning basket for the curing platform. Place your model on the platform and select the curing mode. For complex models, activate the gooseneck light to ensure thorough curing of hard-to-reach areas. The device will automatically stop once the set time has elapsed.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your workspace has adequate ventilation for handling resin and cleaning solvents.
• Verify that the maximum build size of 165 x 100 x 180 mm is sufficient for your typical print dimensions.
• Check that you have a supply of compatible cleaning solvent, such as IPA, available for the washing process.

Usage recommendations: Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including gloves and safety goggles, when handling uncured resin and cleaning solvents. Ensure the model is completely dry after the washing cycle before initiating the UV curing process to prevent surface blemishes.
