Product Overview

High-performance, water-soluble support material

designed to work with a wide range of engineering-grade 3D printing materials

Why use water-soluble support material?

We know the challenges of developing a material like this, because we have been chasing this for many years at the request of industry leaders. In order for a support material to be considered high-performance, we needed to address thermal stability at elevated temperatures, great adhesion to most materials, high-quality filament manufacturing with reliable and consistent printability, and exceptional dissolution rates, all while being environmentally conscious.

For as long as 3D printing has been around, manufacturers and developers have been looking for ways to streamline production for more efficient results. Although 3D printing has itself cut costs and created major advancements in material design, there are still limitations and costly processes that have remained a problem for manufacturing.

One of these has been the necessity to design and build with less than optimal support structures, hindering creativity and keeping post-production costs a major factor with many builds. Often, post-processing of 3D printed parts requires more labor and time than the printing of the part, creating bottlenecks and increased cost.

But, what was once considered the holy grail solution for additive manufacturing, has now become a reality. AquaSys 180 high-performance water-soluble support is a newly patented, composite material that meets the rigorous demand of advanced additive manufacturing applications.

Faster Solubility at Room Temperature

Its true power is its breakthrough water-soluble performance, which significantly reduces the time it takes to remove the material after its 3D printed. In a recent study, AquaSys 180 was found to dissolve up to twice as fast as a leading brand of PVA at room temperature (22 ºC).

Fast, Easy, and Consistent
AquaSysTM 180 Performance

AquaSys 180 is a completely new, patented material, designed to be used on many extrusion machines and build plates making it easy to use. It is perfect for any print design with several overhanging features or other complex designs. You will be able to avoid any warping or deformations with your build filament.

This is great for parts with internal cavities where break-away support material could not be removed due to lack of access. Make your build experience much less complicated and more plug-and-play regardless of the material you're printing.

High-Performance Stability

AquaSys 180 support material is designed to work in build chamber temperatures up to 180 °C, enabling you to print a variety of engineered thermoplastics. Our customers have printed AquaSys 120 with Dow nylons and various polypropylene, polycarbonate, and TPU materials. Now AquaSys 180 can provide support for high-temp materials such as PEEK, PEKK, PEI, and PPSU.

AquaSys has been used on many FDM machines including Ultimaker, Lulzbot, Arburg, and Aon3D machines with minimal set-up time.

Up to 6X Faster Dissolution

Being a water-soluble filament, AquaSys 180 dissolves with tap water only, with no harsh chemicals, keeping you safe and eliminating the risk of leftover residues. AquaSys™ 180 is hydrophilic and biocompatible.

This means it's a nontoxic and noncarcinogenic composite filament that can be used with engineering-grade build filaments. It can be directly disposed of in conventional waste-water streams, but we recommend checking with your local regulations.

Easy Storage

AquaSys 180 is easy to store and comes with everything you will need to make sure your filament is ready to use. It is our recommendation to always store the AquaSys material in the sealed, moisture-tight bag with the desiccant present that it ships in.

The filament will pick up moisture over time if left exposed to the environment, ultimately causing printing issues. Moisture-affected filament will start to foam and look cloudy, not translucent. Filament will also start extruding poorly, becoming stringy and eventually stop extruding. 

Reduce Post Processing

AquaSys was built to reduce the time and cost of downstream processing. Post-processing is responsible for as much as 70% of the cost of a 3D-printed object, and support removal is the key driver of this – until now. With AquaSys you can build more complex parts faster, with less cost.
