UltiMaker PVA (Polyvinyl Alcohol) is a water-soluble support material that empowers engineers and designers to create highly detailed surfaces and complex moving mechanical parts in just one run. Coupled with the right build materials and UltiMaker's proven material profiles in Cura, this PVA opens up a whole new world of opportunities for intricate designs and versatile applications.
Key Features
Water-Soluble Support: UltiMaker PVA is ideal for multi-extrusion 3D printing, providing excellent support for complex models with large overhangs, deep internal cavities, and intricate geometries. Once the print is complete, the PVA can be easily dissolved in water, leaving behind a clean and precise final product.
Thermal Stability: With good thermal stability, UltiMaker PVA ensures reliable printing performance, reducing the risk of degradation during the printing process.
Excellent Adhesion: Designed for a seamless 3D printing experience, UltiMaker PVA provides strong adhesion to both PLA and Nylon, making it a versatile support material for various projects.
Ease of Use: Removing supports no longer requires a long and intensive process. Simply submerge your 3D print in water, and the PVA will dissolve without marring the finish on supported surfaces.
Applications
Complex Geometries: Create intricate designs that were previously impossible with single extrusion printers.
Functional Prototypes: Develop prototypes with moving parts and detailed surfaces that require precise support structures.
End-Use Parts: Produce high-quality end-use parts with clean finished and accurate dimensions.
Why Choose PVA?
UltiMaker PVA stands out due to its superior printability and performance. This formula is specifically designed to work with the UltiMaker 3 BB Print Core, ensuring optimal results. It is less moisture-sensitive than other PVA filaments, offers great adhesion to both PLA and Nylon, and is safe to dissolve in tap water without harmful chemicals. Additionally, UltiMaker PVA is biodegradable, leaving no hazardous by-products.
How to Use
Submerge: Place your 3D print in cold or warm water, depending on the build material.
Rinse: After the PVA supports have dissolved, rinse the 3D print to remove any excess PVA solution.
Dry: Let the 3D print dry and apply additional post-processing if necessary.
