Raise3D DF Wash

Raise3D DF Wash: The Automatic Wash Station for Professional-Quality Resin Prints The Raise3D DF Wash is an automatic wash station designed for post-processing resin prints within the Raise3D DF2 ecosystem. This isn't a printer — it's a dedicated piece of equipment that handles the messiest and most demanding step in any resin workflow: removing uncured liquid resin from parts straight off the build plate. When a print finishes on a resin 3D printer, the part comes out coated in sticky, uncured resin. Without proper washing, that layer ruins fine details, leaves surfaces tacky, and causes uneven curing. Washing is a non-negotiable step — and the DF Wash automates it entirely, delivering clean, consistent results without having to handle solvents by hand. One important thing to note: the DF Wash only washes. UV curing is handled by its companion unit, the DF Cure. Together, both machines form the complete post-processing solution (wash + cure) for the Raise3D DF2 system. Browse the full lineup in our wash & cure stations collection. How the DF Wash Works The DF Wash features a 14-liter tank and a dual-turbine system that generates a powerful, directed flow of solvent. Rather than simple rotational agitation, the unit uses a manual wash simulation — moving the liquid in a way that mimics hand scrubbing, reaching recesses, cavities, and fine details that static immersion washing would miss. After washing, a dual-fan drying system blows air across the part to remove residual solvent from the surface, leaving it ready to cure with no wet spots. The station also manages solvent filling, emptying, and draining automatically via an electric siphon pump, keeping direct contact with used alcohol or solvent to an absolute minimum. The DF Wash is compatible with several cleaning solvents: isopropyl alcohol (IPA), water (for water-washable resins), or TPM solvent. If you work with specialty resins, check out our water-washable resins, which let you skip the alcohol entirely. For everything else, find what you need in our alcohol & post-processing section. Capacity and Compatibility The maximum wash volume is 200 x 112 x 300 mm — large enough to accommodate the oversized parts produced by the DF2 printer. The 14-liter tank lets you wash full batches without constantly topping up solvent. An included hydrometer helps you monitor solvent saturation so you know exactly when it's time for a refresh. The DF Wash is designed as an integrated part of the system and is exclusively compatible with the Raise3D DF2 resin printer. Its built-in RFID tag recognition automatically detects the material and applies the correct wash settings for each resin — no guesswork required.

Designed for workshops, technical offices, dental labs, jewelry studios, and professional users already working with the Raise3D DF2 printer who need a clean, safe, and repeatable post-processing workflow. If you print at volume and want to eliminate manual solvent handling, the DF Wash automates and standardizes the entire washing stage. To complete your workflow, you'll also need the DF Cure, available alongside our full range of wash & cure machines. And to keep your printer protected, don't forget screen protectors and replacement FEP, nFEP, and ACF films.

When a part comes off the printer, it's coated in uncured liquid resin. If left untreated, that sticky layer obscures fine details, leaves the surface tacky, and causes uneven curing. Washing with solvent dissolves and removes that residual resin, leaving the part clean and ready to cure. What's the difference between washing and curing resin? They're two distinct and complementary steps. Washing removes excess liquid resin using a solvent (IPA, water, or TPM). Curing fully hardens the part using UV light, giving it its final strength and rigidity. The DF Wash handles the washing stage; curing is done in a dedicated UV curing unit such as the DF Cure.What solvent should I use to wash resin prints? Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) at high concentration is the most common choice. Some resins are formulated to be water-washable, eliminating the need for alcohol altogether. TPM is a less volatile, reusable alternative. The right solvent depends on the resin you're using — always check the material's data sheet. How long does resin wash solvent last? Wash solvent gradually becomes saturated with dissolved resin and loses effectiveness over time. A hydrometer lets you measure that saturation level: when the density gets too high, it's time to replace it. Properly filtering and storing your solvent extends its lifespan and keeps wash quality consistent. Can I wash resin prints by hand instead of using a wash station? Yes, but hand washing is slower, less consistent, and means direct contact with solvents. An automatic wash station like the DF Wash standardizes the process, reaches fine details more effectively, and reduces alcohol exposure — improving both safety and repeatability. Do I need to dry my print before curing it? Yes. If solvent remains on the surface, curing can result in a cloudy or tacky finish. That's why the DF Wash features a dual-fan drying system that removes residual solvent before the print moves to the UV curing station.
