This page features support materials used in FDM 3D printing. We offer plastic of various types and manufacturers at the best prices in the Ukrainian market. Support material is a special plastic used exclusively for building support structures on a model. The main feature of such plastic is its solubility in water or special types of solvents (for example, in D-Limonene).
Their main advantage is ease of removal: the support simply dissolves, requiring almost no mechanical impact. In addition, such materials leave minimal traces on the product after removal, unlike building supports from the main plastic. Overall, support plastics are a very cost-effective way to build a quality 3D model on a 3D printer with two extruders.

Why are support materials needed?
The purpose of support materials is to reproduce high-quality, complex models that have overhanging elements. This creates more space and freedom for creating products. The use of auxiliary polymers is permissible only on printers with two or more extruders, where it is possible to use several threads of plastic simultaneously. As for the advantages of such materials, they include a smoother surface of objects after the supports are removed.
Types of Support Filaments
This section presents materials for FDM 3D printing, which are worth mentioning. For this type of printing, there are two main polymers – PVA and HIPS. PVA is a water-soluble material that best combines with PLA plastic. As for HIPS, it bonds well with ABS plastic and is removed using the organic solvent D-Limonene. And while PVA is completely safe, printing with HIPS is recommended in a well-ventilated area.
How to Use Them
Using support materials is not complicated. The only thing you need is an FDM 3D printer with two extruders and the main filament. It is important, however, to pay attention to the required printing temperature for each specific material and to combine them correctly. With the right approach, quality 3D printing with two materials simultaneously will not be difficult.
