**Maximize Part Quality and Yield**

With optimized wash protocols, every part is consistently cleaned with minimal manual labor, resulting in lower per-part cost.

**Smart and Connected**

Our next-generation software provides automatic, part-specific wash protocols, process control data for part traceability, and regular software updates. 

**Manufacturing at Scale**

The Smart Part Washer delivers simple, repeatable part washing, enabling manufacturing at scale and environmental stewardship.

- Printed parts on platform are transferred directly from printer to part washer.
- Wash cycles use a combination of solvent agitation and air spinning to wash and dry parts.
  - Agitation intensity varies based on the wash cycle selected.
  - Wash cycle duration is automatically set by the resin being washed.
- Solvent soil load and fill levels are monitored and displayed.
- All part washer functions can be performed from the front display.
- The Smart Part Washer is an internet-connected device. As with Carbon printers, periodic software updates are pushed directly to the part washer.

## Hardware Compatibility

- Compatible with M2 and M3 (with [adapter](docId\:p6zGFlME2odRJVPfw5U5C))
- M3 Max and L1 platforms are not compatible with the Smart Part Washer.
  - Parts can be removed from the platform and then placed in the [Part Washer Basket](docId\:p6zGFlME2odRJVPfw5U5C).

## Resin Compatibility

All Carbon resins are compatible with the part washer except CE 221

## Solvent Compatibility

Only solvents validated for the part washer may be used.  Always check that the resin being washed is compatible with the solvent loaded in the part washer.  Reference [Smart Part Washer solvents](docId\:o0R4ZxSr-e4snOr4SnJi0) for more details on the following solvents:

- VF 1 (custom Vertrel-based formulation)
- 99% Di(propylene glycol) methyl ether (DPM)
- 99% Diacetone alcohol (DAA)

# Notes

- Compatible with M2 and M3 (with [adapter](docId\:p6zGFlME2odRJVPfw5U5C))
- M3 Max and L1 platforms are not compatible with the Smart Part Washer.
  - Parts can be removed from the platform and then placed in the [Part Washer Basket](docId\:p6zGFlME2odRJVPfw5U5C).
- User selects the wash cycle.
- Depending on resin, geometry, and wash cycle, the parts may require manual spot cleaning after processing in the part washer.
- See the [Lab Reference Grids](docId\:UJF4K0NY4lYE74ZoHX1R-) or the specific resin protocol sheet to verify resin compatibility.
