HK3D unveils 3D Systems’ Infinity Rinse-Away material

Rinse Away technology from 3D Systems, supplied in the UK via HK3D, is a support material that enables PlasticJet Printing (PJP) users to push beyond traditional limitations, as it permits elaborate patterns with degrees of freedom and suspension in space that were previously thought impossible, says the company.

Available on the 3D Systems’ Cube series of 3D printing machines, Infinity Rinse-Away is a water-soluble filament that enables users to print parts having rinse-away supports. As a result, designers and component developers no longer have to deal with the ‘stubble' that is often left behind with previous breakaway support materials.

Compatible with PLA plastics, Infinity Rinse-Away support material is activated by either holding the part under running water or by placing it in a tub of warm water to soak for a few minutes. Environmentally friendly, Infinity Rinse-Away is a biodegradable, corn-based plastic material.
