Support structure removal system

A three-dimensional printing farm comprising:

• a plurality of additive manufacturing systems each configured to print three-dimensional parts from part materials and associated support structures from support materials;
• a plurality of vessels configured to receive the printed three-dimensional parts and the associated support structures from the plurality of additive manufacturing systems;
• a support removal tank configured to retain an aqueous support removal fluid;
• one or more agitation mechanisms configured to agitate the aqueous support removal fluid in the support removal tank;
• a rinsing tank configured to retain an aqueous rinsing fluid;
• one or more robotic mechanisms;
• and
• a controller configured to direct the one or more robotic mechanisms to:
• individually insert each of the plurality of vessels containing the printed three-dimensional parts and the associated support structures into the support removal tank such that the aqueous support removal fluid at least partially fills the vessels inserted into the support removal tank;
• and
• individually remove each of the plurality of vessels from the removal tank and individually insert the removed vessels into the rinsing tank such that the aqueous rinsing fluid at least partially fills the vessels inserted into the rinsing tank.
