The PWA 2000 has a microprocessor-controlled touchscreen 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.

9. Inspect the model(s) and use a brush to gently clean cavities as needed.

10. Remove the model(s) from the washing compartment.

11. If using PC1 – rinse models thoroughly in water for 30 seconds. A tub of water or a sink can be used for this step. After rinsing, use compressed air to quickly dry the models.
If using IPA – use compressed air to remove all IPA from the surface of the model as soon as possible.

Important: Do not expose models to IPA or PC1 for an extended period of time. For more specific post-processing information on the material used, see the Material Best Practise for each material.
