Inks for Functional Prototyping, Supports and Special Applications
Materials for multimaterial 3D printing
Support materials
Cubic Ink® Support materials are water-soluble or water-breakable. They can be removed automatically in a water bath without chemical solvents or manually with low force. These materials are designed to give a high resolution and ease of process. The hardness and the dissolution times are adjustable.
