Our materials get you there faster and with greater efficiency. Superior thermal stability, best-in-class adhesion characteristics, and up to 6x faster dissolution removes design constraints and enables more efficient production.

 

Sacrificial cores, jigs, & fixtures.

 

Sacrificial cores and the hundreds of fixtures, guides, templates, and gauges found in every aircraft are ideally suited for FDM production. Our water-only soluble support materials further efficiency gains thanks to their rapid dissolution characteristics and easier disposal. The primary component in AquaSys is a naturally occurring carbohydrate that rapidly mineralizes in the environment.

 

Complex geometries.

 

Aerospace engineers continue to pursue design gains in weight and performance. Complex geometries, internal features, thin walls, and complex curved surfaces are achievable but demand the very high-performance support that AquaSys materials offer.

AquaSys is engineered for use with a wide range of both hydrophobic and hydrophilic materials. See a comparison of build material compatibility between AquaSys 120, AquaSys 180, and PVA in our AquaSys 180 whitepaper.
