AquaPrint

Excellent solubility in cold water

AquaPrint is a water-soluble support material designed for complex multi-extrusion 3D printing. AquaPrint boasts a flow rate almost four times higher in comparison to PVA based support filaments and reduces dissolving time in water by half. However, the standout feature of AquaPrint is its exceptional adhesion to different materials like PLA, PETG, PA and TPU, offering twice the bonding strength compared to PVA.

AquaPrint exhibits excellent solubility in cold water and exceptional thermal stability. It can be printed at lower temperatures, making it the ideal support material and ensuring excellent adherence.

AquaPrint stands out with its greater structural rigidity compared to other support filaments, notably PVA. This characteristic significantly enhances material transfer from the extruder to the Hot End, particularly in Bowden extruder systems. This robust structural integrity also allows for the creation of solid supports, resulting in a superior final surface finish for your 3D-printed pieces.

Users with dual extruder 3D printers can seamlessly combine AquaPrint with various materials, thanks to its straightforward printing configuration. Once your print is complete, AquaPrint’s biodegradability allows for responsible disposal through standard wastewater sinks (according to local regulations).

The use of AquaPrint as a water-soluble support material enables the 3D printing of intricate structures, including those with moving parts, all in a single piece and with exceptional quality.
