Ultimaker PVA

PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) is a water soluble support material for dual
extrusion 3D printing. With a good thermal stability, Ultimaker PVA
is ideal for printing complex models that require supports for large
overhangs, deep internal cavities, and intricate geometries.

Designed for a seamless 3D printing experience, Ultimaker PVA provides good adhesion to a variety of materials – check our support website for the latest compatibility overview.

Reliable 3D printing of water soluble support structures for Ultimaker ABS, CPE+, PC, and PP.
