BigRep BVOH
BigRep's water-soluble support material, BVOH drastically reduces post-processing for 3D-printed parts, particularly for complex geometries.
Description
BigRep's BVOH support material is a water-soluble filament that drastically reduces post-processing for 3D-printed parts. Created for use with dual-extruder printers, BigRep BVOH is compatible with a wide range of materials to provide efficient support during the printing process. BVOH is ideal when 3D printing complex geometries where breakaway support be difficult to remove or impossible to access after printing. When the surface appearance of your part is paramount, BigRep BVOH results in better surface quality with less post-processing effort.
BVOH easily dissolves in water, cleanly freeing parts from support structures without manual post-processing. While the dissolving time depends on part geometry and slicing settings, BVOH’s solubility increases with higher water temperature and delivers faster results.
Highlights
- Water Soluble for Easy Removal
