WolfBite
Airwolf’s WolfBite Adhesion Solution keeps parts secured
to the bed while printing, but then releases
them easily once completed and cooled. WolfBite comes in different formulas for different materials.

The typical lifetime on the build plate varies,
depending on the material you are using.
NOTE
–
For customer facing parts, where surface finish is
critical, TRAK recommends changing the WolfBite after every
print. Reusing the WolfBite from the last print can sometimes
leave a faint mark on the bottom of the newly printed part. See
image to the right. If small surface defects are not an issue,
then you do not need to worry about replacing the WolfBite
after each print, and you should follow the recommendations on
the table above.
