Abstract
A method of cleaning residual resin from an additively manufactured object, including: producing by additive manufacturing at least one object on at least one carrier platform; operatively connecting each object to a rotor including connecting the at least one carrier platform to a dynamic mount; separating residual resin from each object; and removing the at least one object from the rotor with the residual resin separated therefrom. The separating step may include: centrifugally separating the residual resin from each object by spinning the rotor with the at least object operatively connected thereto; and rotating each object about first and second axes during the spinning to enhance the centrifugally separating the residual resin from each object. The rotating step may be carried out with first and second actuators contacting and engaging the dynamic mount to rotate the dynamic mount and each object about the first and second axes.
