Introduction
Safety information
The following precautions ensure the proper use of the HP Designjet 3D Removal System and
prevent the system from being damaged. Follow these precautions at all times.
• To avoid the risk of falling, the system must be placed on a flat and stable surface able to
support 36 kg (80 lbs.).
• Use the power supply voltage specified on the nameplate. Avoid overloading the electrical
outlet with multiple devices.
• Ensure the system is well-grounded. Failure to ground the system may result in electrical
shock, fire and susceptibility to electromagnetic interference.
• Use only the power cord supplied. Do not damage, cut or repair the power cord. A
damaged power cord has risk of fire and electric shock. Replace a damaged power cord
with an approved power cord.
• Do not allow metal or liquids to touch the internal parts of the system. Doing so may cause
damage, fire, electric shock or other serious hazards.
• Power off the system and disconnect the power cord from the power outlet in any of the
following cases:
• If there is smoke or an unusual smell coming from the system.
• If the system is making an unusual noise not heard during normal operation.
• A piece of metal or a liquid touches the internal parts of the system.
• During an electrical (thunder/lightning) storm.
• During a power failure.

The HP Designjet 3D Removal System is specifically developed to provide efficient removal of
support material from models built with HP Designjet 3D printers.
Overview
How it works
The system removes support material by immersing models in a bath of water with a specific
amount of cleaning agent bags added to the cleaning agent receptacle. The system heats and
circulates solution around the models in the cleaning tank. The solution dissolves the support
material without harming the underlying model material. Over time, depending on geometry
and the amount of support material, all the support material is dissolved and the models are
ready to be removed, dried and used for their intended purpose.
The system incorporates the following functions:
• Automatic water fill
• User selectable cleaning tank level (half or full)
• Automatic water drain
• Automatic timing device for user selectable short, medium, or long cycles
• Automatic lock/unlock before and after cycling
• Automatic rinse and drain cycle
