The Dissolvable Support Bath is used in conjunction with both Stratasys 3D printers, the Dimension and the F370. Since these printers use QRS support material, the support can be dissolved in a heated, agitated, diluted solution of Sodium Hydroxide.
Sodium Hydroxide can be dangerous when handled incorrectly, therefore there are various safety procedures associated with the use of the Dissolvable Support Bath.
The Dissolvable Support Bath Ace is Gabi Lorenzo.
Safety Procedures
- Only Prototype Lab Mentors are allowed to use the Bath
- Required safety attire is a lab coat, safety goggles, and heat protecting gloves
