UltiMaker PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) is a water-soluble support material optimized for dual-extrusion 3D printing. It provides exceptional performance for complex models, reducing post-processing time while preserving delicate surface features. With PVA, intricate components and internal cavities are easier than ever to achieve—no compromise needed.
Compatible with materials like PLA, Tough PLA, and Nylon, PVA allows for complete creative freedom, making it an ideal solution for engineering assemblies, educational models, and design prototypes where finish quality and detail matter most.
Unlike breakaway supports, PVA structures minimize scarring and cutting marks. This results in cleaner surface details, making it perfect for intricate or visually sensitive components.
Using PVA support structures gives you full freedom to orient your part in any direction—whether to optimize mechanical strength, improve print efficiency, or enhance surface finish.
Print complex assemblies—like ball bearings, caged gears, and moving joints—as a single print. PVA enables complete, working components right off the build plate.
