OVERVIEW

The PolyJet Matrix printing process has the unique capability to build parts in a rigid material (Shore D), Rubber-like material (Shore A) or a combination of the two in a single build. The materials are jetted in ultra-thin layers on 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.

The capability to simultaneously build with multiple materials opens up new opportunities for final product realization at an early stage, including feasibility testing and over-molding process simulation. The parts have smooth and durable surfaces, with exceptionally fine details and an outstanding surface finish.

 

APPLICATIONS

  • Limited number of prototypes needed (1-10)
  • Form and fit testing
  • Elastomer parts (Shore A)
  • Multi-material parts (i.e. Shore D base with Shore A overmold)
  • Plastic part rapid tooling patterns
  • Metal part rapid tooling patterns
  • Focus group and presentation models
