3DXTech AQUATEKPVA PelletsWater-Soluble Support Material — Make Your Own Support Filament or Pellet-Print in Bulk
Water-soluble support — dissolves cleanly, no picking.
AQUATEK™ PVA is a water-soluble support material: print complex geometry and overhangs with a dual-extrusion setup, then simply dissolve the PVA away in water for clean, unmarked surfaces. Buy in bulk pellets to extrude your own PVA support filament or feed a pellet printer. Made in the USA. Full specifications →

Make your own filament — or feed a pellet printer — with genuine 3DXTech PVA.
AQUATEK™ PVA is a water-soluble support material: print complex geometry and overhangs with a dual-extrusion setup, then simply dissolve the PVA away in water for clean, unmarked surfaces. Buy in bulk pellets to extrude your own PVA support filament or feed a pellet printer.
From pellets to spooled filament — on your own extruder.
Full control of your material supply, at bulk pricing.
A home filament extruder turns these pellets into 1.75 or 2.85 mm PVA filament at a fraction of spooled-filament cost — ideal for high-volume printing, custom colors, or research. Pre-dry the resin, dial in your extruder, and you have a steady supply of genuine 3DXTech PVA. Prefer to skip the spool? Feed the pellets directly into a pellet-fed printer.
Water-soluble support — dissolves cleanly, no picking.
Full mechanical data for AQUATEK™ PVA is available from Rev1 on request.
Clean water-soluble removal — no picking or scarring.
Support intricate overhangs and internal cavities.
Leaves supported surfaces smooth and unmarked.
Runs at low 150–170 °C temperatures.
10 & 25 kg pails — bulk support material at low cost per kg.
Extrude your own PVA support filament or feed a pellet printer.
Pre-dry, then extrude — simple bulk processing.
3DXTech's guidance for turning PVA pellets into filament or feeding a pellet printer.
Dry the resin before extrusion. A dedicated dryer or toaster oven works — not the kitchen oven.
3DXTech's recommended melt range for extruding these pellets.
Wet resin extrudes with bubbles in the filament — if you see them, dry the pellets longer.
Produce 1.75 or 2.85 mm filament with a desktop filament extruder.
PVA is water-soluble — do not cool the extruded strand in a water tank.
PVA parts — at bulk volume.
Running from pellets makes high-volume production and large-format pellet printing far more economical than spooled filament.
When do pellets make sense?
These pellets are the same AQUATEK™ PVA resin as spooled PVA filament. Choose pellets for the lowest cost per kg, pellet-fed printing, or custom filament extrusion; choose spooled filament when you want to load and print with no extra equipment. Request the full data sheet for exact mechanical figures.
| PVA Pellets | Spooled PVA Filament | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost per kg | Lowest | Higher |
| Ready to print | Needs extruder / pellet printer | Load and go |
| Best volume | High / bulk | Low–medium |
| Custom filament (color / diameter) | Yes | No |
| Format | 10 kg / 25 kg pails | 1 kg spools |
Same AQUATEK™ PVA resin in both formats; request the data sheet for exact properties. Prices vary by pail size and date.

FAQ
3DXTech PVA Pellets — Common Questions
What are PVA pellets for?
Making your own PVA filament on a home filament extruder, or feeding a pellet-fed 3D printer directly. They are also used for injection molding and materials research. Bulk pellets are the most economical way to run PVA at volume.
How do I process them?
Pre-dry at 50 °C for 4–6 hours, then extrude at 150–170 °C. Drying is essential — wet resin extrudes with bubbles in the filament.
Is this the same PVA as your spooled filament?
Yes — it is the same USA-made AQUATEK™ PVA resin, just in bulk pellet form. The published property data applies to both.
What sizes are available?
10 kg / 25 kg pails, in white. Ask us about colors and larger volumes.
Where can I get the mechanical data?
The full AQUATEK™ PVA technical data sheet is available from Rev1 on request — use any “Request the TDS” button on this page.
Anything special about processing?
PVA is hygroscopic and water-soluble — keep it dry, and do not cool extruded strand in water.
