3DFuel releases Hydro-Support, new water-soluble 3D printing filament for supports

One of the more tricky parts of the 3D printing process is the use of supports. Complex shapes can’t always be 3D printed on their own, and therefore require the addition of support structures which can then be removed after the object is printed. The removal of supports can be difficult, time-consuming, and hazardous due to the chiselling or chemical bathing it requires. The latest product from 3DFuel, a filament that is completely soluble in water and therefore incredibly easy to remove, could make support problems a thing of the past.
