Models produced on the InVision 3-D printer are built with wax supports. To complete the model, the supports must be removed. The Finisher complements the InVision 3-D printer by providing a high duty cycle, precision-automated support removal capability to the InVision 3-D printer. When packaged with the InVision 3-D printer, it provides a convenient, dependable single-source turnkey solution for InVision 3-D printer users.

The precise thermal control provided by the Finisher ensures that the temperature is kept constant and allows the support material to be uniformly removed without damage to the model.

Using the InVision Finisher is easy — remove the parts from the InVision printer, separate the parts from the platform, and place the parts into the Finisher. The oven's precisely controlled thermal environment ensures that the support wax drips off the part, leaving the finished part. Drained support material may be disposed of as ordinary office waste in any receptacle after cooling to a solid.

For large parts, users may elect to first immerse parts (with supports) into a bath of liquid support material for accelerated support removal before placing it into the Finisher for final support removal. The Finisher includes a tray with ample depth to serve double-duty as a liquid bath — offering multiple methods of support removal within a single unit.

The InVision Finisher provides reliable, durable and convenient support removal for models produced with the InVision 3-D printer.
