PolyJet
Multi-material jetting photopolymer 3D printing technology
What is PolyJet?
PolyJet is an advanced additive manufacturing technology that works similarly to inkjet printing but uses photopolymer resins. It jets tiny droplets of liquid photopolymer onto a build platform and instantly cures them with UV light, layer by layer, to create highly detailed and smooth-surfaced parts. Known for its high resolution, multi-material, and full-color printing capabilities, PolyJet is ideal for prototypes, medical models, and products requiring complex geometries or fine details.

Advantages and drawbacks of PolyJet
Advantages
Produces fine details with smooth surface finishes and thin layers.
Can combine multiple materials in a single print, enabling varying textures, hardness levels, and colors.
Supports full-color printing, making it ideal for realistic prototypes and visual models.
Drawbacks
Parts are more brittle compared to FDM or SLS and are generally not suited for high-stress functional applications.
Printed parts can degrade over time when exposed to prolonged UV light.
