Overview
Introducing the Ultimaker PVA Removal Station
The introduction of PVA water-soluble support material brought 3D printing to a whole new level. Suddenly, it was possible to print just about any conceivable geometry, without having to worry about manual removal of supports.
But if you've printed using PVA supports, you know that it can take a long time for those supports to fully dissolve, with some extra washing usually being needed at the end of the process.
Thanks to the new Ultimaker PVA Removal Station, the removal of PVA supports is now faster and easier than ever before. Just drop your part in the tank, push a button, and walk away. You'll come back to find a perfectly clean part, free of all support material!

Remove PVA up to 4x Faster
The combination of high-speed water circulation driven by a magnetic rotor removes PVA up to four times faster than motionless water, even from hard-to-reach cavities. So you have your parts post-processed and ready to use as soon as possible.
Low Effort, Higher Productivity
Reduce operator time by 80%.
The Ultimaker PVA Removal Station requires only a few minutes of operator time per print, with minimal maintenance needs. Just press the start button, leave it to do its job, and collect your print when it's ready.
Your Design-to-Print Workflow, Simplified
Using the PVA Removal Station in 3 easy steps
- Step 1: Fill
- Step 2: Disolve
- Step 3: Remove & Repeat
Step 1: Fill the container with tap water, place it back on the docking station, and place your 3D print inside.
Step 2: Start the PVA removal process with the touch of a button. Let the PVA dissolve, typically within 1-8 hours², while you get on with your day.
Step 3: Raise the basket and remove your print. Water can be safely disposed of down the drain³, then refilled ready for the next print.
Key Features
Rotor-powered Water Circulation
Choose 100 or 225 RPM circulation depending on the fragility of your part. Every two minutes, the rotor changes direction to push water evenly against the model.
Prints Stay Safe and Submerged
A rinsing basket keeps your print in place and completely submerged while dissolving, then lifts up for mess-free draining and print removal.
Easy to Monitor Progress
A transparent, illuminated container lets you easily follow the PVA removal process and see when your part is ready. Plus, a saturation indicator shows when to refresh the water.
