SUPPORT FILAMENT
Support filament for 3D printers is a specialized material used to create temporary structures that support overhanging or complex parts during the printing process. It allows for greater design freedom, enabling the creation of intricate geometries that would otherwise be impossible to print. Once the print is complete, support material can be easily removed, often by dissolving in water or a specific solvent, leaving a smooth and precise final product.
