The Parts Washing Apparatus (PWA 2000) is a convenient tool
to assist in removing uncured material from 3D printed models.
The removable washing compartment allows for ease of use
when adding or removing models from the PWA 2000. The PWA
2000 oers a selection between three washing programs, so
that the user can accurately clean the most delicate models
and larger, more complex models eectively and eciently.
These selections can be made directly on the easy-to-use touch

Programs and Features
The PWA 2000 has a microprocessor-controlled touch screen interface
and intuitive software that allows you to control every aspect of the
washing process of your 3D printed models.
Set program
Once the PWA 2000 is powered on, it
automatically switches to the Set Program
menu. The three washing options are
accessible from this screen -
High, Medium, and Low
High Program
The High program is a strong washing
program designed for sturdy models and
materials
Medium Program
The Medium program is a standard washing program designed for
standard models and materials
Low Program
The Low program is a slow washing program designed for very
delicate models and materials
Setting a Program
1 Once the High, Medium, or Low program
is selected, the Set Timer menu is displayed
2 Using the Plus and Minus symbols
towards the bottom of the Set Timer menu,
adjust the time to the desired setting. Each
digit will need to be selected and adjusted
individually

rinsing, use compressed air to quickly dry the models
7 If using IPA - use compressed air to remove all IPA from the
surface of the model as soon as possible
Do not expose models to IPA or PC1 for an extended period of
time. For more specic post processing information on the material
used, see the Cookbook for that material. Cookbooks are available for

Product Setup
Complete the following steps in order to correctly unpack and assemble
the PWA 2000 -
Unpacking the PWA 2000
1 Carefully open the packaging: Do not use blades that could
damage the contents
2 The PWA 2000’s power cable is packed on the top foam panel,
Fig. 3. Remove the power cable from the box and set aside
3 Extract the PWA 2000 from the box by lifting upwards
4 Remove the foam panels from the top and bottom
5 Do not throw away the box and foam panels. Keep the packaging
6 Situate the PWA 2000 on a secure surface. Place the PWA 2000
at a distance of at least 8 inches (20 cm) from any other object,
including the back wall
7 Connect the power cable to the PWA 2000 and into a power
socket US - 110V / EU - 220V with a grounding socket. A controlled
switch socket is prefered as this would allow the operator to easily
disconnect the power to the apparatus when not in use
8 Once power is connected, the PWA 2000 will display a brief start-
up screen and will then go to stand-by mode. In this mode the PWA
2000 is ready to start the required program
Adding the cleaning agent
There are two recommended cleaning agents for the PWA 2000 -
1 99% isopropyl alcohol (IPA) - See the manufacturer for use and
safety instructions
2PC1 - A non-carcinogenic, non-hazardous, non-ammable, eco-
friendly alternative to IPA. PC1 must be diluted with water before
using in the PWA 2000. Use a ratio of 2 parts water to 1 part PC1
Do not store the cleaning agent in the PWA 2000 after use. Use the
drainage spout, Fig. 2, to pour the cleaning agent into a separate
storage container between uses.
