1. A method, performed by a multi-stage wash system for washing off residual resin from objects that are 3D-printed through a vat polymerization process, comprising:
exposing a 3D-printed object to a first solution of a plurality of solvent solutions inside an enclosure of a wash reservoir of the multi-stage wash system;
subsequently to exposing the 3D-printed object to the first solution, exposing the 3D-printed object to a second solution of the plurality of solvent solutions within the enclosure of the wash reservoir of the multi-stage wash system; and
drying the 3D-printed object by exposing the 3D-printed object to an airflow within the enclosure of the wash reservoir of the multi-stage wash system, the airflow facilitated by an array of slots and corresponding blocks on an anti-splash adapter of the wash reservoir.
