Introduction: Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) filament is a water-soluble3D printingThe material can be used as a supporting material to be removed by water after printing.

On October 14, 2021, a professional PVA removal station: PVA Removal Station was launched to accelerate the prototype development process. It is reported that this PVA removal station will be listed in the first half of next year.
△PVA Removal Station
The removal of PVA usually takes a long time to dissolve in water. Depending on the size of the supporting structure, the complexity and density of the design, more complex ones may take more than a day to complete. Ultimaker’s PVA removal station reduced this time by 75%. It also reduces the operating time and eliminates the need to manually remove PVA or check the dissolution process.
△The machine is small and can hold 13.5L of water
Ultimaker’s PVA removal station is easy to use, clean and maintain. The removal station can hold 13.5 liters of water. When PVA is dissolved, the water circulation direction will automatically change, and the speed can be adjusted as needed. It also comes with a basket and partition to hold the printed parts and keep them submerged. The saturation indicator can indicate whether the water needs to be replaced, and the container is transparent to quickly check the dissolution process.

This PVA removal station is relatively “chicken ribs” as a whole, and the capacity is obviously insufficient for mass production users, and for individual users, it seems that there is no special need except for the appearance. But as Ultimaker said, this machine can save users from constantly checking the dissolution status, and can also change the water regularly according to the prompts. Players who have enough gold coins and want to improve the overall vision of the studio can still buy it.In addition, this device also gives consumer grade3D printingThe merchant brought another development route.At the consumer level3D printingWhen the market becomes saturated, new materials and newPost-processingThe equipment may be civilian level3D printingManufacturing opens up another way.
