BVOH
BVOH is a water-soluble copolymer for support structures. It broadens the design possibilities for complex printed parts and helps with geometries where supports would be difficult to remove mechanically.
Typical applications
Water-soluble supports for complex prototypes, overhangs, internal features and moving geometries.
Why BVOH?
BVOH supports demanding shapes and makes support removal with water easier. This also enables hard-to-reach areas in multi-material printing.
Performance profile
- Tensile strength
- up to 45 MPa
- Elongation at break

Ideas for your application
Product development, functional prototypes, model making and multi-material manufacturing.
Surface and appearance
The support material is removed. Clean contact surfaces on the actual part are the priority.
Designing your part to fit
Openings and flushing paths allow dissolved residue to be removed from cavities. Well-designed support surfaces promote clean contact areas.
Finishing and post-processing
Dissolution in water at a suitably chosen temperature; parts are then rinsed and dried appropriately for the material.
