iLuxWash Dental
iLuxWash Dental — Automated Wash Station for 3D Printed Dental Parts
The iLuxWash Dental is a fully automated cleaning and rinsing system engineered for dental labs and practices running resin 3D printing workflows. Purpose-built for LuxCreo's 1-Click Dental ecosystem, it removes residual uncured resin from printed parts quickly, consistently, and with minimal operator involvement — readying models, aligners, guides, and appliances for post-cure in a single, repeatable step.
Why Dental Labs Choose the iLuxWash Dental
The iLuxWash Dental combines three cleaning technologies in one sealed, bench-top unit:
- Magnetic-driven impeller agitation — rapidly circulates solvent around and through geometry, reaching intaglio surfaces, undercuts, and narrow channels that static baths miss.
- Ultrasonic cleaning — dislodges resin from fine features and textured surfaces.
- Heated wash cycle (up to 60°C / 140°F) — accelerates solvent action and improves cleaning performance on viscous dental resins.
Together, these produce consistent part cleanliness batch after batch — critical for dimensional accuracy on orthodontic models, fit on surgical guides, and cure quality on aligners and splints.
Validated for the LuxCreo 1-Click Dental Workflow
The iLuxWash Dental is a core hardware component of LuxCreo's validated dental workflow, engineered to pair with the iLux Pro Dental printer and iLuxCure Pro Dental post-cure unit. This integrated pipeline supports the first FDA-cleared 510(k) Class II direct-print clear aligner workflow — the same platform labs use for same-day aligners, retainers, and chairside applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the iLuxWash Dental clean? 3D-printed dental parts produced on LuxCreo dental printers, including orthodontic models, aligners, retainers, surgical guides, night guards, splints, and temporary restorations.
How is the iLuxWash Dental different from a standard ultrasonic wash? Most dental wash stations rely on ultrasonic energy alone. The iLuxWash Dental adds a magnetic-driven impeller that physically circulates solvent through complex geometry, plus a heated cycle — producing more consistent cleaning on intricate dental parts.
Is the iLuxWash Dental compatible with other 3D printers? The iLuxWash Dental is designed and validated as part of the LuxCreo 1-Click Dental ecosystem, working seamlessly with the iLux Pro Dental printer and iLuxCure Pro post-cure unit.
What solvents does it use? Standard dental resin wash solutions compatible with LuxCreo dental resins. Consult the iLuxWash Dental user guide and resin IFUs for validated solvents and wash parameters.
Does Phoenix 3D Supply offer installation and training? Yes. Phoenix 3D Supply supports dental customers with setup, workflow onboarding, and ongoing technical guidance.
