  • Odour and emissionsAquaSolve™ PVA has a limited smell during printing and is non-toxic and biodegradable once dissolved in water.FormFutura, Technical Data Sheet AquaSolve™ - PVAp. 1
  • Supports and removalAquaSolve™ PVA is a rapidly cold water soluble PolyVinyl Alcohol type of filament, which bonds extremely well to (thermo)plastics and because of its process stability is “easy to print” at relatively low temperatures.FormFutura, Technical Data Sheet AquaSolve™ - PVAp. 1
  • Good forAquaSolve is a water-soluble PVA type of 3D printer filament that is ideal as support material for complex multi-extrusion 3D printing with PLA based filaments as build material.FormFutura, AquaSolve - PVAp. 1
  • Good forAquaSolve PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) is a water-soluble support material for complex multi-extrusion 3D printing.FormFutura, AquaSolve - PVAp. 1
  • BenefitsIt exhibits an excellent thermal stability and can be printed at relatively low temperatures.FormFutura, AquaSolve - PVAp. 1
  • Good forThis makes AquaSolve PVA an ideal support material for PLA-based materials with good thermal and chemical adherence.FormFutura, AquaSolve - PVAp. 1
  • Supports and removalExcellent (cold) water solubilityFormFutura, AquaSolve - PVAp. 1
  • BenefitsGood thermal stability, resulting in less risk on deterioration/crystalizing inside the nozzleFormFutura, AquaSolve - PVAp. 1
  • BenefitsMax thermal stability of 210° C, tested up to 256 seconds with no flowFormFutura, AquaSolve - PVAp. 1
  • BenefitsBiodegradable once dissolved in waterFormFutura, AquaSolve - PVAp. 1
  • Supports and removalSafe dissolution in tap waterFormFutura, AquaSolve - PVAp. 1
  • Supports and removalCan be disposed of in the kitchen sink, or household drain as the material is “ok biodegradable water” certifiedFormFutura, AquaSolve - PVAp. 1
  • BenefitsGood bonding to PLA-based materials and other (thermo)plastics that print within a similar temperature rangeFormFutura, AquaSolve - PVAp. 1
  • Good forReliable multi-extrusion 3D printing of complex structures that require a water-soluble support materialFormFutura, AquaSolve - PVAp. 1
  • Good for3D printing geometries with large overhangs, or complex hollow structuresFormFutura, AquaSolve - PVAp. 1
  • Printing adviceDo not exceed a printing temperature of 225˚C, because AquaSolve PVA will then crystallize to quickly and it will no longer flow and/or dissolve in water.FormFutura, AquaSolve - PVAp. 1
  • Pitfalls and limitationsPrinting with PVA materials does require a certain level of 3D printing expertise as PVA cannot stay too long in the hot secondary/support nozzle and needs to flow and by that needs expert tweaking to find the optimal “waiting temperature” for the material not to deteriorate/crystalizing in the hot secondary/support nozzle when not being 3D printed.FormFutura, AquaSolve - PVAp. 1

  • Supports and removalHelios Support is a “high heat” water-soluble PVA material which is engineered as support material for dual extrusion 3D printing in combination with engineering materials which require to be printed at higher temperatures and/or in heated build chambers.FormFutura, Technical Data Sheet Helios Supportp. 1
  • Supports and removalHelios support can be printed at nozzle temperatures up to 250° C without the risk of cross linking and nozzle clogging and adheres extremely well to styrene based materials such as ABS, TitanX, Crystal Flex, and ApolloX, but also to Python Flex and Volcano PLA.FormFutura, Technical Data Sheet Helios Supportp. 1
  • Supports and removalHelios Support dissolves slightly slower in water than normal PVA, but the dissolving process can be sped up when using warm and circulating water.FormFutura, Technical Data Sheet Helios Supportp. 1
