PolyJet Printing ​

 

PolyJet works by jetting photopolymer materials in ultra-thin layers onto a build platform. Each photopolymer layer is cured by UV light immediately after it is jetted, producing fully cured models that can be handled and used immediately, without post-curing. The gel-like support material, designed to support complicated geometries, is subsequently removed by water jetting.

PolyJet technology enables horizontal layers of just 16 µm (0.0006"), fine details, and ultra-thin walls down to 0.6 mm (0.024") 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.

​

• Type of casting Technology: PolyJet.

• Materials: Silicon Rubber.

• Dimensional Accuracy: ± 0.1 – 0.3 mm (varies depending on geometry, part orientation and print size).

• Minimum wall thickness: To ensure that the mold is filled properly, a wall thickness of at least 1 mm is necessary. For best results, we recommend a wall thickness of at least 1.2 mm.

• Surface Structure: Unfinished PolyJet parts have a smooth surface, which can be further smoothed as desired through finishing processes.

• Common Applications: Functional parts with variable Shore Hardness achievable.

• Strengths: Shore Hardness as per requirement is possible.

• Ideal applications for PolyJet: Visual models with fine details and smooth surfaces, Prototypes for form-and-fit testing, Accurate tooling patterns for plastic parts, Parts to match specific Shore A values Masters for copying techniques such as Vacuum Casting.
