Disruptive benefits of AquaSys 120.

Print with a clean conscience.

AquaSys 120 is based, in significant part, on a naturally-occurring element that's rapidly mineralized in the environment. It's also safe to dispose of through most waste management platforms — but be sure to check your local regulations first.

Dramatically reduce post-processing.

Avoid the tedious, hands-on removal that risks breakage and abrasion by dissolving supports in plain tap water. Engineered to leave behind a smooth surface finish, AquaSys 120 can help you achieve greater print success, faster iteration, and fewer setbacks.

Get more done in less time.

AquaSys 120 filament dissolves 6X faster than a leading brand of PVA. That means engineers can spend less time sanding off breakaway material or handling harsh chemicals, and more time designing, building, and getting things done.

Enjoy unmatched thermal stability.

With a maximum build plate temperature of 120ºC, AquaSys 120 allows you to print at up to 70º higher than leading brands of PVA. This makes it a unique support solution for several build materials, including: ABS, PC/ABS, PC, ASA, Nylon (PA), CPE, CPE+, PET/G, TPU, PVDF, TPE, TPC, composite materials, and PP.

Suited for manufacturing to medical — and everywhere in between.

VIEW INDUSTRIES & APPLICATIONS

Dissolvable, hands-off support removal allows for complex design features, enabling new possibilities for everything from flightworthy plane parts to highly specific surgical molds.

Jigs & fixtures.
 

Replace traditional jig and fixture production methods with a smart, simple approach to FFF. Precision, specificity, and complexity are highly sought after and achievable with AquaSys 120.

 

Rapid prototyping.

 

Create and experiment with a broad range of materials and produce end-use parts with FFF — all without wasting time or risking damaged prototypes with breakaway support removal.

 

End-use products.

 

Compatible with commonly used plastics like ABS and PP, AquaSys 120 is uniquely suited to support the production of tough, functional parts.

 

Finish clean.

 

AquaSys 120 doesn't require toxic finishing chemicals, making it ideal for manufacturing, medical, and educational uses — while also relieving the waste disposal burden for all users.
