Zortrax Z-SUPPORT ATP

Z-SUPPORT ATP is a soluble support filament designed with high thermal stability in mind. It does not dissolve in pure water, but in a mild alkaline solution created with Z-SUPPORT ATP Activator. Thanks to that, the material is much less sensitive to ambient moisture.

Printing Tips

When using Z-SUPPORT ATP:

  • Make sure that your printer is fully functional and contains all the necessary components. In particular, check if:
  1. The material guides are properly attached to the extruder,
  2. The hotend and nozzle are not clogged or contaminated with material remains,
  3. The platform is not damaged/uneven,
  4. The extruder fans work properly,
  5. The printer has the latest firmware version installed and the model has been prepared using the latest Z-SUITE version.
  •  Make sure that both model and support materials have been stored in adequate conditions and have not absorbed moisture from the air.
  • Perform all diagnostic tests available in the menu - Fans Test and Axes Check procedure.
  • Carry out platform calibration.
  • Carry out nozzle alignment calibration.
  • Make sure to install the side covers set as well as the HEPA cover device.
  • In the case of problems with warping, select the Full platform preheating option: Settings -> Working Options. Also, apply an appropriate adhesive agent onto the platform. 
Applications
  • High Temperature 3D Printing
  • Partially Trapped Volumes
  • Complex Models
  • Movable Mechanisms
  • A power tool handle:This power-tool handle has been 3D printed with soluble support structures made with Z-SUPPORT ATP to enable effortless support removal from inaccessible places like screw holes.
  • Low moisture absorption :Z-SUPPORT ATP does not dissolve in pure water, so it absorbs a lot less moisture than PVA or BVOH-based materials.
  • Complex geometries :Z-SUPPORT ATP enables printing geometrically complex models as it can be easily removed from almost inaccessible places.
  • Complete dissolution :Submerged in a mild alkaline created with Z-SUPPORT ATP Activator, the material dissolves completely leaving no remnants on the model.
