Soluble support material enables hands-free, high volume 3D printing

Stratasys has introduced a soluble support material called SUP706 for PolyJet triple-jetting 3D printers. The material is said to reduce the time and manpower required to clean 3D printed models, enabling companies to efficiently scale-up to high volume production.

SUP706 automates post-processing of 3D printed parts with a two-step, soak-and-rinse process, giving users the ability to maximise productivity while achieving a low cost-per-part. High-production environments including service bureaus and internal prototyping shops will experience a faster and easier support material removal process.

SUP706 is available as a software update on all Stratasys PolyJet Triple-Jetting 3D Printers and is compatible with all PolyJet materials, excluding hearing aid material.
