Atlas Support is a water-soluble PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) support material for complex multi-extrusion 3D printing with PETG based materials. Atlas Support is a 3D printer filament with improved thermal stability and can be 3D printed at slightly higher temperatures compared to regular PVA. This makes Atlas Support an ideal PVA support material for PETG-based materials with good thermal and chemical adherence.
Key features
Excellent (cold) water solubility
Improved thermal stability, resulting in less risk on deterioration/crystalizing inside the nozzle
Max thermal stability of 225° C, tested up to 256 seconds with no flow
Biodegradable once dissolved in water
Safe dissolution in tap water
Can be disposed of in the kitchen sink, or household drain with an excess of water
Good bonding to PETG-based materials and other (thermo)plastics that print within a similar temperature range
Less sensitive to deterioration by humidity compared to regular PVA
Applications
Reliable multi-extrusion 3D printing of complex structures that require a water-soluble support material
3D printing geometries with large overhangs, or complex hollow structures
