PVA (Polyvinyl Acetate) is mainly used as a support material because of the fact that it is water-soluble - it dissolves when exposed to water. PVA is most often used on printers with dual extruders, with one extruder printing a primary material (such as ABS or PLA) and the other printing this easily-dissolved material to provide support for overhanging features.
