Dimension 3D Printing, a brand of Strata-sys Inc., introduced WaveWash, which is an eco-friendly cleaning system that dissolves the support material from models made with Dimension 3-D Printers. The company's printers offer computer-aided-design (CAD) users a networked alternative for building functional 3-D models from the desktop. Models are built layer-by-layer using ABS plastic, and allow design engineers to evaluate design concepts and test models for form, fit and function.

The company's cleaning system requires no gloves, goggles or other protective wear, and the pH level of the cleaning solution generally meets drain water requirements worldwide. The product was developed to make the 3-D printing process easier. The system, designed to be as easy to use as a residential dishwasher, automatically fills with water and drains at the end of each cycle. It weighs 36 lbs. (16.40 kg), has a footprint of only 18.24 by 17 in. and requires less than 20 minutes of setup time prior to operation. Additionally, the system uses a hands-free process, has an 8 by 8 by 6 in. part capacity and has selectable 2 or 4 gallon water levels.
