Description

Dissolvable Support Material Polymers Market Summary

The global dissolvable support material polymers market size was estimated at USD 412.86 thousand in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 1,078.24 thousand by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 11.3% from 2025 to 2033. The growing use of multi-material 3D printing in industries such as healthcare and automotive is driving demand for dissolvable support materials that enable precise, complex designs.

Manufacturers are adopting these polymers to reduce post-processing time and improve overall production efficiency.The dissolvable support material polymers industry is moving from niche prototyping into mainstream production as additive manufacturing shifts toward end use parts.

Material innovation is focusing on faster, cleaner dissolution and broader compatibility with engineering-grade feedstocks, while service models that bundle consumables with post-processing solutions are gaining traction. This evolution is enabling more complex geometries and integrated assemblies that were previously impractical, driving OEMs and contract manufacturers to consider dissolvable supports as a standard workflow element.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
