Ultimaker PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) is a leading water-soluble support material for multi-extrusion 3D printing. It offers you freedom and convenience: to design complex model geometries that require supports, which dissolve away in tap water.
Summary
Ultimaker PVA is at the heart of our market-leading dual extrusion 3D printing experience.
• Reliable adhesion to PLA, Tough PLA, CPE, and Nylon
• Non-toxic formula dissolves in regular tap water which can be disposed of safely
• 100% biodegradable with no hazardous by-products
• Good thermal stability gives better degradation resistance compared to other PVA filaments
Properties
Ultimaker PVA has the following properties:
• Melting temperature 163 ºC
• Water-soluble support material
• Dissolves in ordinary tap water
Applications
Many applications can benefit from using Ultimaker PVA support material:
• Parts with complex geometries and internal cavities
• Concept models
• Molds
Compatibility
Ultimaker PVA is officially supported by Ultimaker S5, Ultimaker S3, and Ultimaker 3 series 3D printers, using a BB print core. It is supported for dual extrusion with:
