We have a FDM 2000 which is basically the same machine as the FDM 3000, with the FDM 2000 having a 10" X 10" X 10" build envelope. We have been using Waterworks since mid December 1999. I would not want to go back to the old methods of supports. For instance, I made a part with a hollow pocket with only a small hole and the support material was completely dissolved and removed. I could not have make that part using the old system. The support material tends to cause strings at times but basically I think it has been a real improvement. The ultrasonic cleaners can be noisy.

I am looking for user's feedback on FDM 3000 with
WaterWorks.

Specifically, how do user's feel about the WaterWorks
system.

Users with FDM 3000 and other FDM systems (without
WaterWorks), do you feel WaterWorks has significantly
imrpoved part quality and throughput ?
