Support Material
Support materials in 3D printing are specialized filaments or structures designed to provide temporary support for overhangs, bridges, or complex parts during the printing process.
They prevent parts from sagging, warping, or collapsing, allowing for high precision and complex geometries. Once the main print is complete, these supports are removed or dissolved, depending on the material.
PolyDissolve™ S1
PolyDissolve™ S1 is a water dissolvable support for PLA, TPU, PVB and Nylon based filaments from our portfolio.
It is specifically engineered to have a perfect interface with these materials while also displaying good solubility.

Application
PolyDissolve™ S1 is ideal for printing complex geometries such as art sculptures, figurines, models with internal cavities, all-in-one mechanisms or architectural models.
It is specifically engineered to have a perfect interface with these materials, supporting them while printing while also displaying accelerated solubility in room temperature water after printing.

Application
PolySupport™ is a breakaway support material which can be removed very easily.
It’s advantage over dissolvable support is that its faster to remove and requires no tools or equipment.
For geometric overhangs such as boxes, architectural models or brackets, PolySupport™ will offer a better experience than dissolvable support.
PolySupport™ is also compatible with TPU, PC and PVB based materials from the Polymaker portfolio.

Application
PolySupport™ for PA12 is a break away support specifically engineered for PA12 based filaments.
It has a perfect interface with long-chain nylons, strong enough to support it and easily removable by hand.
PolySupport™ for PA12 prints at a similar temperature to PA12 and is compatible with open, enclosed and heated chambers.
The filament is colored green so its easy to see and remove after printing.
