Hattersheim am Main, March 12th, 2018 – Kuraray is launching a new 3D printing filament manufactured under the MOWIFLEX™ brand offering a ground breaking water soluble support material technology to 3D printing. The company is presenting the development at RAPID+TCT , Fort Worth April 24 - 26, 2018.
MOWIFLEX™ as a biodegradable water soluble support material for 3D printing shows excellent printability and cold water solubility combined with low moisture absorption from the atmosphere that enables printing of complex structures, which can include moving parts, in one piece and high quality print using FFF (fused filament fabrication) technology.
After printing is complete, the support structures can be easily dissolved in water, which can be conveniently disposed to drain due to the biodegradable nature of MOWIFLEX™.
Our latest development allows for faster dissolving and better adhesion to various materials (e.g. PLA, PA, PVB, TPU, TPC).
