PVA Support: common questions
What is PVA Support good for?
PVA Support is a common choice for multi-material support, complex internal geometry, dual-extrusion prints. Water-soluble support material for printing complex overhangs and internal cavities. Dissolves cleanly in warm water. Used with our dual-extruder FDM systems.
How strong and heat-resistant is PVA Support?
Printed PVA Support parts have a typical tensile strength of N/A and heat resistance of ~60 °C. These are typical values for printed parts in the XY direction; strength between layers is lower, so orientation matters for loaded parts.
How big a part can you print in PVA Support, and how fast?
Up to 350 × 320 × 325 mm in one piece; larger parts are printed in sections and joined, after a review. Production takes 2-5 business days, and rush service is available.
