What is PVA filament?
PVA stands for polyvinyl alcohol and is a soft and biodegradable polymer that is very sensitive to moisture. When PVA is exposed to water, it dissolves. For that reason, it is perfect as a support material for 3D printing. For complex shapes with, for example, hollow spaces, PVA can be used to fill these cavities. After printing, this filament can be removed very easily by dissolving it in warm water.
