Anycubic Wash and Cure 3

The Wash and Cure 3 device from the Anycubic catalog of post-processing equipment is a 2-in-1 station for the washing and post-curing of parts 3D printed with resin. This machine is an upgraded version with multiple improved features to ensure not only easier and safer operation but also more efficiency and precision.

Wash and Cure 3 measures 215 x 217 x 310 mm and it boasts a washing volume of 165 x 100 x 180 mm and a curing volume of 160 x 180 mm (15 % bigger than its predecessor). With its all-in-one design, compact dimensions and a weight of mere 2.7 kg, Wash and Cure 3 is the perfect desktop solution for the post-processing of parts 3D printed with any resin 3D printer.

The Wash and Cure 3 washing and post-curing station by Anycubic contains everything that is needed for carrying out a successful post-processing of parts 3D printed with resin. The main elements of the station include:

• Cleaning bucket and basket - with a bigger basket size (3 liters), the Wash and Cure 3 station can now offer a cleaning volume of 4 liters. The basket is made of PP, resistant to oxidation for more longevity and reliable operation. The parts can be either removed from the build platform for cleaning or the entire platform can be placed hanging inside the bucket. Thanks to the smart 2-level design, the user does not need to fill the entire bucket for the curign of small parts, which leads to IPA alcohol savings.
• Curing chamber - consists of a transparent PP curing table, a UV-blocking top cover and an Z-axis UV light. By implementing a fresh light bead arrangement and lens light source, the Anycubic Wash & Cure 3 achieves a 20% enhancement in curing uniformity compared to its predecessor 2.0. This advancement ensures a more comprehensive and thorough curing process for the entire model.

• Flexicure - the additional gooseneck curing light ensures precise curing of objects no matter the geometry and complexity. This Flexicure light boosts the energy level by 30000 uW/cm² within a 1-3 cm irradiation range, effectively enhancing the curing process in delicate areas like model tops and garment hems.
• Control panel - the user interface is avaiable through the user-friendly operation panel equipped with a touch button as well as a control knob. Via this control panel the user can choose cleaning and curing modes (1-30 minutes) as well as (de)activate the gooseneck light (FlexiCure).

Another feature that make the Wash & Cure 3 machine easy and pleasant to use is its low noise level (< 65 dB). Thanks to a structurally sealed design and optimized software, noise interference produced during the cleaning and curing processes is minimized, resulting in a quieter and more pleasant working atmosphere.

Powerful and intelligent

The Anycubic Wash & Cure 3 cleaning and curing station is a smart solution thta will lead to a smoother and more efficient post-processing workflow for parts 3D printed with resin. The upgraded hardware and additional curing light solves the problem of precise curing for complex parts, the intelligent two-level design reduces the use of IPA alcohol, and the user-friendly interface allows for a precise and easy control of the cleaning and curing process. The compact 2-in-1 design makes the Wash and Cure 3 station an efficient device with a small footprint, a truly beneficial addition to any resin 3D printing workflow.
