Eliminating IPA in Resin Cleaning: Enhancing Safety and Efficiency in Additive Manufacturing

By Michael Krisfalusi, last updated October 20, 2025

This whitepaper explores a safer, more efficient way to clean resin off your 3D printed parts – without the need isopropyl alcohol (also known as IPA). Inside, you’ll learn about alternative cleaning methods and how they help address the health, safety, and environmental concerns linked to IPA use.

Eliminating IPA with AUX-400-Rinse Post Process

In this Whitepaper, You Will Learn:

  • Why it Matters: How eliminating IPA from your resin removal workflow improves safety, sustainability, and operational efficiency
  • Problems with Resin Post-Processing: The risks and regulatory challenges of using isopropyl alcohol in 3D printing workflows
  • A Proven Alternative: How PostProcess developed an automated, IPA-free solution using PLM-403-SUB and AUX-400-RINSE
  • Behind the Research: The performance, safety, and compatibility benchmarks that guided the creation of AUX-400-RINSE
  • Testing: Real-world data and charts showing drying time, flash point, odor, and cleaning efficiency vs. IPA
  • Real World Applications: Consumer Spotlights from Geely Design Center and Great Lakes Dental Labs showing how they successfully eliminated IPA with PostProcess solutions
