Stratasys recently introduced SUP706 soluble support material for PolyJet parts. It is available for Objet 260/350/500 Connex 1,2,3 and requires a software upgrade. Stratasys has explained that SUP706 soluble support expands design freedom and fulfills a market requirement based on these two benefits: 1) productivity 2) it enables printing of much more delicate and complicated designs.

Applications such as architecture, electronic product prototypes, fashion, and design all need intricacy in design. Products with internal cavities, such as perfume bottles, and batches of many small parts, need intricate designs. Before Stratasys’ soluble support, the small parts would have to be cleaned one by one. With SUP706, the producers can put them all in the cleaning solution and do them all at once.
