Zusammenfassung:	A system and method are disclosed for removing resin from 3D printed objects. The system includes a housing in which is located a fixture adapted for attaching on a bottom side thereof a build tray, which is a component of a 3D printer upon which 3D printed objects are manufactured and which is removable from the 3D printer. The system also includes a lift mechanism located in the housing and connected to the fixture. The lift mechanism moves the fixture from an upper position to a lower position to immerse the build tray with the 3D printed parts in a container of a liquid formulation that removes resin from the 3D printed objects. The system may also provide for rinsing and curing the 3D printed objects after the unwanted resin has been removed. L'invention concerne un système et une méthode d'élimination de résine d'objets imprimés en 3D. Le système comprend un boîtier dans lequel est situé un dispositif de fixation conçu pour fixer sur un côté inférieur de celui-ci un plateau de construction, qui est un composant d'une imprimante 3D sur lequel des objets imprimés en 3D sont fabriqués et qui peut être retiré de l'imprimante 3D. Le système comprend également un mécanisme de levage situé dans le boîtier et relié au dispositif de fixation. Le mécanisme de levage déplace le dispositif de fixation d'une position supérieure à une position inférieure pour immerger le plateau de construction avec les parties imprimées en 3D dans un récipient d'une formulation liquide qui élimine la résine des objets imprimés en 3D. Le système peut également permettre le rinçage et le durcissement des objets imprimés en 3D une fois la résine indésirable retirée.
