Polyjet 3D Printing
PolyJet offers the unique ability to print parts and assemblies made of multiple model materials, colors and transparency, with different mechanical or physical properties, all in a single build. So you can confidently order parts of unparalleled complexity, made of several materials and colors, and with the finish of a high-quality end product.
Why Choose Polyjet?
PolyJet technology enables horizontal layers of just 32 µm, fine details, and ultra-thin walls down to 0.6 mm depending on the geometry of the part. That means PolyJet is capable of building very precise mechanical components, offering you high-quality prototypes for a shorter time to market.

Advantages of Polyjet 3D Printing
Printed parts with Polyjet technology are smooth, polished and accurately detailed.
- Polished, smooth and detailed prototypes that simulate end use parts.
- Detailed and precise parts such as realistic teeth and gums, implant models, and even maxillofacial models
- Create complex shapes, intricate detail, and delicate features.
- Integrate a wide variety of materials and colors into individual models for unmatched efficiency.
Polyjet Design Guidelines
Wall thickness
- Thickness = distance between part surface and opposite sheer surface.
- Minimum wall thickness = 1mm.
Dimensional Accuracy
- PolyJet has the highest dimensional accuracy.
- Standard accuracy of materials range from 0.1-0.3 mm. This depends on the geometry, part orientation and print size.
Connecting/Moving Parts
- Water-soluble material in PolyJet allows for interlocking and moving parts
- Minimum clearance on parts that are printed together is 0.4 mm
Embossed/Engraved Details
- 0.5 mm high and wide
Supported Walls
- 1 mm
Unsupported Walls
- 1 mm
Minimum Features
- 0.5 mm
Holes
- 0.05 mm diameter
Pin Diameter
- 0.5 mm
How Polyjet Works?
Polyjet 3D printing technology works by jetting layers of curable liquid photopolymer onto a build tray.
Pre-Processing: Preparation software determines the arrangement of photopolymers to be cured and support material from a native 3D CAD file automatically.
Production: Polyjet printers instantly cure the droplets of liquid photopolymer using UV. Thin layers accrue onto the build tray to create the 3D part(s). Where support is needed, the printer will jet removable support material.
Support Removal: Material is easily removable by hand, with water or in a solution bath. No post-curing is required as the 3D printed part is ready to handle straight off the build tray.
