Additive Manufacturing Stratasys launches water-soluble support for polyjet 3D printers

3D printing company Stratasys introduced a new water-soluble support material, WSS150, for two Polyjet 3D printers — the Stratasys J35 Pro and Stratasys J55 Prime. WSS150 allows users to remove the support material from their prints easily and hands-free using tap water or a conventional dishwasher with no additional chemicals.

The new support material WSS150 from Stratasys allows designers to create prints with delicate, complex structures or with intricate details and channels without worrying how the support materials will be removed. WSS150 also is ideal for high-volume production as multiple prints can be cleaned simultaneously and hands-free as opposed to handling and post-processing each print individually. To remove the support material, prints can simply be submerged in tap water, or for faster support removal, prints can be placed in a professional or conventional dishwasher.

The J35 Pro and J55 Prime 3D printers allow users to produce prototypes, models and end use parts in an office environment. With the introduction of WSS150, users can now more easily integrate 3D printing into their workflow without the need for expensive, messy or cumbersome post-processing systems.
