Overview
Description
The SCA Waterjet is a cool water, power cleaning system capable of removing support material
from Material Jetting (MJ) 3D printed models with rapid bulk and fine detail jetting options.
It is configurable for stationary direct facility hookup or as a self-contained mobile unit, for difficult
to plumb situations. Its ergonomically considered design and functionality provide comfort and
enhanced productivity for operators.
Key Features
•Mobile or Stationary Options:
▪Mobile –Onboard 5-gallon water holding tank for recirculation.
▪Stationary - Connect directly to facility water supply and drain; this requires
optional installation components and instructions available from Oryx.
•3-Stage Filter System for mobile recirculation option and 2-Stage Waste Filter System for
stationary option.
•Integrated frame with locking front casters for mobility.
•Ergonomically designed gloved access to facilitate operator model handling and cleaning, and
operation of internal control for jet wand selection.
•Two independent jet wand spray nozzles with easily accessed selector valve: Coarse for rapid
bulk removal and Fine for fine detail and delicate support removal.
•High and low cleaning power settings.
•High visibility work area environment through viewing window with efficient LED lighting and
internal-mount wiper blade assembly (automatic operation).
•Large processing environment to accommodate model sizes up to 19.5” x 15.5” x 9”.
•The SCA Waterjet can be operated while standing or seated.
How It Works
The interior work area of the SCA Waterjet is accessed via two gloved ports on machine front,
allowing operators full control of models inside the work area. The integral Pump mounted on
the mobile support frame delivers selectable high and low cleaning power with two handheld
jet wands (Coarse and Fine), each with a defined degree of spray directivity: 15° Coarse for
rapid bulk and 0° Fine spray for detail removal. The sliding access door located on the right side
of the machine allows entry into the interior work area for insertion of models. Machine ON-Off
and integral Pump of the SCA Waterjet are operated using the control interface located above
the window. An automatic inlet supply shut-off valve isolates the Waterjet from the water
supply when the pump is not operating (important for units connected to facility water supply).
The foot pedal switch allows full control with hands-free operation with both hands inside the
work area.
