Select subsegment :
Additive Manufacturing (AM)
Cleaning in Additive Manufacturing (AM) helps maintain equipment efficiency, ensures high-quality prints, and reduces the risk of contamination that could affect future projects; with INVENTEC providing specialized solutions to support these critical processes.
Additive Manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, has made an advance in the industrial world in recent years. AM simplifies the production of complex parts, improves material-efficient and make it possible to create parts which are more light while keeping the same performance requirements. With it comes specific needs in cleaning or post treatment processes.
INVENTEC benefits of it’s years of expertise in high-tech cleaning and surface treatment to adapt our solutions to the specific requirements of AM and to the materials used.
There are 5 main domains in AM where INVENTEC can provide a solution:
It is important to understand the materials used and to select compatible cleaning or surface treatment products to achieve the expected results.

3D Printer Cleaning Guide
As additive manufacturing becomes more central in industrial production, the importance of effective component cleaning and cleaning 3D printer systems has never been greater. The post-processing phase, particularly polymer cleaning and the removal of residual materials from additive manufactured components, plays a crucial role in maintaining part integrity and function. High-performance cleaning equipment ensures that parts created through 3D manufacturing meet strict quality standards across industries. Efficient cleaning 3D printer techniques and advanced component cleaning systems are key to achieving consistency and repeatability in additive manufacturing workflows.
Whether producing prototypes or end-use parts, the additive manufacturing process generates components that require precise polymer cleaning and surface preparation. Advanced cleaning equipment designed for 3D manufacturing applications targets both complex geometries and sensitive materials used in additive manufactured components. From manual rinsing stations to automated component cleaning systems, manufacturers are increasingly investing in cleaning 3D printer solutions to reduce contamination, improve part accuracy, and increase throughput. Proper polymer cleaning and equipment maintenance also extend the lifecycle of the additive manufacturing machines themselves.
Automotive: Precision Clean for Performance Parts
The automotive sector relies heavily on additive manufacturing for rapid prototyping and custom part production. Cleanliness is paramount, and efficient component cleaning of additive manufactured components ensures high performance and durability. Polymer cleaning and surface finishing of 3D manufacturing parts are essential to meet mechanical and aesthetic standards. Automated cleaning equipment supports high-volume production lines while ensuring each cleaning 3D printer cycle yields flawless components.
Aerospace & Defense: Critical Clean for Mission Readiness
In aerospace and defense, the use of additive manufacturing demands uncompromising component cleaning standards. Cleaning 3D printer systems must remove any residual powder or support material without compromising the structural integrity of additive manufactured components. Given the complexity and criticality of aerospace parts, specialized cleaning equipment ensures that polymer cleaning processes are precise and repeatable, contributing to flight safety and mission readiness.
Medical: Hygienic Clean for Human Contact
The medical industry leverages 3D manufacturing for surgical tools, implants, and custom devices where hygiene and accuracy are non-negotiable. Component cleaning and thorough polymer cleaning of additive manufactured components ensure compliance with strict regulatory requirements. Advanced cleaning equipment and validated cleaning 3D printer workflows are essential to maintain sterility, prevent cross-contamination, and guarantee patient safety in every additive manufacturing application.
