Easy to print, water soluble support material from BASF UltrafuseBASF Ultrafuse BVOH (butenediol vinyl alcohol copolymer) is a very special filament. BVOH is a PVA-like filament that is 100% water-soluble. BVOH thereby dissolves twice as fast in water as PVA. It is used exclusively as support material, which disappears completely after the printing process after it has spent some time in a water bath. As a result, the filament can only be used with Dual extruders FDM printers. The great advantage of BVOH is that a designer does not have to consider any geometrical limitations when creating a 3D model.It is also possible to create support structures using the building material of a model. There are, however, 2 decisive disadvantages. First of all, the material can only be removed with difficulty. Unattractive residues are created at the breaks, which usually have to be reworked. The even greater disadvantage is that the inner support structures of the model cannot be removed, since there is often no possibility to access them via tools. It is therefore particularly problematic to produce moving components. That's why BASF Ultrafuse developed the BVOH filament. You can easily dispose of the material dissolved in water in your drain.This text is machine translated.
