“The Polyjet process works by jetting photopolymer materials in ultra-thin layers(16µ)onto a build tray, layer by layer until the part is completed. Each photopolymer layer is cured by UV light immediately after it is jetted, producing fully cured models that can be handled and used immediately. There is a support material that is used during the build process that is easly removed by a water jet machine.
The Polyjet finish is very high quality due to the thin build layers. This process works very well for thin wall applications(600µ or less depending on geometry and materials).”
Two key benefits of PolyJet technology are its advanced capabilities and the simple, clean operation it allows. Polyjet Technology uses non-contact photopolymer materials that are cured instantly via UV and that are both safer and easier to work with than any other materials currently on the market. Additionally, Polyjet Technology’s water-jet removal system ensures all support materials are cleaned from the machine, between each use. These factors combine to provide a system that is safe, user-friendly, durable – and ideal for countless, varied applications.
PolyJet Technology can significantly reduce time to market for new products, creating excellent ROI potential. Each 3-dimensional prototype is ready to be physically handled, examined and assessed as soon as it comes out of a Polyjet-based 3D printer. Ultra-thin 16-micron layers of non-touch resin are jetted onto the build tray and each layer is cured instantly with ultraviolet light. These processes ensure a high-quality, smoothly surfaced and accurate 3-D model that can be immediately touched, as there is no need for an after-production curing process.
