Polyjet
|
PolyJet is a 3D printing technology invented by Objet, now a part of Stratasys. The process involves jetting picoliter sized droplets of UV sensitive model and support ink onto the build tray, smoothing them down to a 16-30µm layer, and curing them with powerful UV lights. The results are beautiful, with crisp features, fully dense parts, and a plethora of material options and colors to choose from.
Our brand-new Pantone-verified J750 PolyJet printer can even mix, drop by drop, 6 separate model materials enabling full-color builds with colors as vibrant as your paper inkjet printer. Other mixtures are possible, enabling unique functional materials such as rubber-like parts with various shore hardness durometers mixed throughout a single part. Digital ABS is our most functional PolyJet material, and effectively marries the resolution of PolyJet with the durability of ABS plastic. |
MATERIAL & COLOR OPTIONS
Standard PolyJet materials (often referred to as "Vero") are acrylic-like in nature, and create rigid parts that are good for fit checks, but can be brittle. We offer this material in clear, white, and black, in addition to full, multi-color parts via the J750 machine.
If you are in need of a more durable PolyJet part, we recommend either polypropylene-like (black) or Digital ABS, which both offer excellent impact resistance and good flexibility.
Finally, PolyJet excels at creating high-resolution rubber-like parts of various durometers. These can be mixed and matched within the same multi-body part, to create things like simulated overmolded parts, buttons, or machine feet with grippy bottoms.

FINISHING OPTIONS
PolyJet parts, with their very thin layers and high resolution jetting, are usually good to go right out of the machine. However, if exceptional finishes are needed, models can be wet sanded for an even smoother surface, or painted for a precise match with other components in your assembly.
