Multi-material (rigid/flexible) 3D Printing Process – Ideal 3D Printing for Medical Tools
PolyJet 3D printing operates by jetting layers of liquid photopolymer resin onto a build platform. Once deposited, UV light is immediately applied to the resin, causing it to rapidly cure and solidify. This layer-by-layer process creates the final object.
PolyJet’s unique feature lies in its ability to simultaneously jet multiple materials or resins. This enables the creation of intricate, multi-material objects within a single print run. The technology can also produce varying material properties, colours, and even transparencies within a single model.
The result is highly detailed, multi-material objects with smooth surface finishes. This makes PolyJet suitable for applications such as prototyping, product design, and even some medical applications, where precision and aesthetics are paramount.
