3D printing is now widely used to produce life science, healthcare, and medical parts — applications where cleanliness directly affects safety and function. This TechBrief covers critical cleaning of the substrates used in these processes (plastics, photosensitive resins, metals, and alloys), and how biocompatibility, toxicity, and material selection guide the right aqueous cleaning method.
The technique of three-dimensional (3D) printing can be used to create not only simple parts but those with complex geometries as well. This tech brief focuses on the critical cleaning of the wide range of hard surfaces used in 3D printing across the life sciences — from healthcare and medical devices to pharmaceutical manufacturing. Contents A Wide Variety of Materials Material Selection for Specific Applications Healthcare and Pharmaceutical Applications Method and Material Impacts on Cleaning Requirements Cleaning 3D Printers Printer Nozzles Support Material Cleaning Chemistry Cleaning Methods Manual / COP…
