The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) National Center for Environmental Health(NCEH) Division of Laboratory Sciences (DLS) intends to award a sole source requirement, firm-fixed price purchase order for the DEMI 430 is the only support removal station that combines ultrasonics, controlled jet flows to reduce part to part surface contact, heat ramp programming, and batch/material specific programs that can be stored and recalled for batch-tobatch processing. These custom user programs contain all of the aforementioned settings that we can optimize and reuse for the unique support removal requirements of our parts/models. The DEMI 430 is also the only support removal station in this size (20 ±2 gallon) that combines the previously mentioned features with online detergent filtration, a critical feature we have identified based on our years of experience with other support removal makes and models. Finally, the DEM 430 has been developed to provide full support removal from both FDM and polyjet parts with the same detergent solution. Importantly, there is no need to change detergents between part types which saves considerable time and reduces waste.
