3D printing (additive manufacturing) builds complex parts from layered polymers and metals across a widening range of industries. This TechBrief covers critical cleaning of the hard surfaces used in these processes — extruded plastics, photosensitive substrates, metals, and alloys — and how material choice and printing method shape the right aqueous cleaning approach for industrial and precision parts.
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 industries — extruded plastics, photosensitive substrates, metals, and metal alloys.
