Technology & Products

Key Products

AquaSys 180, AquaSys 120, AquaSys GP (water-soluble support filaments); Caverna PP (microporous polypropylene filament).

Technological Advantage

Proprietary chemistry enables water-soluble supports that dissolve 20% faster than PVA (AquaSys GP) and withstand high temperatures up to 180°C, protected by joint venture IP with Nagase and Interfacial Consultants.

Differentiation

Value Proposition

Reduces post-processing time by up to 90% with water-soluble supports (e.g., AquaSys 180 for PEEK/PEI), cuts material waste, and enables lightweight, porous structures (e.g., Caverna PP) for cost-effective prototyping and production.

How They Differentiate

AquaSys 180 is the only water-soluble support compatible with PEEK/PEI (up to 180°C), vs. competitors' PVA-based or non-soluble options; Caverna PP offers unique microporous structure (1-4µ pores) for lightweight foams, unlike standard filaments.

Why this company matters

Infinite Material Solutions develops water-soluble support materials and microporous thermoplastics for FDM/FFF 3D printing, targeting industrial applications where complex geometries and design freedom are constrained by conventional support removal. Founded in 2018 as a joint venture between Nagase America and Interfacial Consultants, the company focuses on reducing post-processing time and material waste for users of high-performance polymers.

The company's core products include AquaSys 180, a water-soluble support filament compatible with PEEK and PEI at extrusion temperatures up to 180°C, and AquaSys GP, which dissolves 20% faster than standard PVA. Caverna PP is a microporous polypropylene filament with 1-4 micron pores, enabling lightweight, porous structures for applications such as foam-like parts and filtration media. These materials are designed for standard FDM/FFF systems.

Customers include Boeing, GE Additive, Stratasys, and Ford Motor Company, with deployments across aerospace, automotive, medical, dental, education, and research verticals. The company claims to have deployed over 50 AM systems. Key partnerships include Nagase America and Interfacial Consultants, with collaborative integration work via Titan Robotics.

Infinite Material Solutions differentiates through proprietary chemistry that enables water-soluble supports at higher temperatures than PVA-based alternatives, and through the unique microporous morphology of Caverna PP. The company has raised $12.5 million in funding. Its primary competitive risk lies in the niche scope of its product line, which may limit adoption relative to broader material suppliers like Polymaker or Victrex.
