Typical time to place an order
PolyJet, similar to an inkjet printer, jets layers of liquid photopolymer that instantly cures with UV lights attached to print heads.
This speedy process creates fine layers for high-resolution parts (up to 16 microns) that are produced quickly — sometimes in the same day. PolyJet 3D printing rapidly produces parts with astonishingly fine detail, smooth surfaces, and precision.
PolyJet is an ideal choice for attractive, high precision models needed quickly. The technology works with a vast array of materials, including rubberlike flexible materials and specialized photopolymers for 3D printing in the dental, medical, and consumer product industries.
When higher quantities are needed, PolyJet parts can be used as master patterns for our Urethane Casting process.
