Supports for printing

Choose your support-material family

Use the routes below to navigate the collection by removal logic and support behaviour.

• Support materials and support-related solutions for complex geometries and supported builds.
• Cleaner removal routes depending on the selected system.
• Support logic spanning water-soluble, swellable, breakable and wax-based options.
• Useful for improved print reliability and post-processing stability in inkjet workflows.

Typical use scenarios across the collection

This collection is relevant for users selecting support strategies according to geometry difficulty, access for removal and production workflow constraints.

• Overhang support: stabilising features that cannot be built reliably without dedicated support material.
• Complex cavity printing: supporting internal zones and difficult-to-access geometries.
• Improved print reliability: reducing failure risk on demanding builds and delicate structures.
• Post-processing workflows: choosing the right support removal route for the part and printer setup.
• Production stability improvements: standardising supported printing and cleanup across repeated jobs.

How to choose the right support material

Select the most suitable route according to support-removal method, access to supported regions and the required balance between rigidity, flexibility and ease of cleanup.

• Need a hard water-soluble support → 3Dresyn IJ WSS1-H
• Need a hard-flexible water-swellable support → 3Dresyn IJ WSS1-HF
• Need a hard and crispy support for easy hand breaking → 3Dresyn IJ Support H&C2 MF Bio
• Need a soft and crispy support for easy hand breaking → 3Dresyn IJ Support S&C2 MF Bio
• Need a soft monomer-free removable route with water jetting → 3Dresyn IJ Bio Support S MF
• Need a wax-based support route → 3Dresyn IJ Wax Support SX00

• Prioritise dissolution in water → start with WSS1-H
• Prioritise swelling-assisted removal → start with WSS1-HF
• Prioritise manual breakaway removal → choose H&C2 or S&C2 depending on support feel
• Prioritise monomer-free soft support logic → choose Bio Support S MF
• Prioritise wax-support compatibility → choose Wax Support SX00

Decision tree summary

Use this simplified engineering logic before detailed print validation.

• Need true water-soluble removal → WSS1-H
• Need water-swellable behaviour with some flexibility → WSS1-HF
• Need hard breakable supports → Support H&C2 MF Bio
• Need softer breakable supports → Support S&C2 MF Bio
• Need soft removable support with water jetting → Bio Support S MF
• Need wax support workflow → Wax Support SX00

Then validate the final route under the intended geometry, support density, access for removal, cleaning method and printer-specific workflow.

Soft monomer-free removable support with water jetting

For supported builds where a softer support logic and water-jet removal route are preferable.

Hard and flexible water-swellable support

For support workflows where swelling in water helps removal while maintaining a harder-flexible support profile during printing.

Hard water-soluble support

For users needing a support route based on direct water-soluble removal with a harder support profile.

Wax support material

For workflows requiring a wax-based support route within compatible inkjet support strategies.

Hard-crispy and soft-crispy hand-breakable supports

For users who want support removal by hand instead of dissolution or swelling-based cleanup.

A support-strategy platform rather than a single removal method

This collection spans multiple support-removal routes so users can choose the logic that best matches their geometry and workflow.

• WSS1-H covers the hard water-soluble route.
• WSS1-HF covers the hard-flexible water-swellable route.
• Support H&C2 MF Bio and Support S&C2 MF Bio cover breakable supports by hand.
• Bio Support S MF covers the soft monomer-free removable route with water jetting.
• Wax Support SX00 extends the platform into wax-support logic.

The right support depends on geometry and cleanup strategy, not only on the printer

Support performance depends on access to supported areas, fragility of the model, the desired cleanup speed and whether the workflow is based on dissolution, swelling, manual breakaway or wax support logic.

In practice, the correct route is usually selected first by removal method and geometry difficulty, and only then validated under the intended printer and post-processing conditions.
