PolyJet.
Multi-material.
Color & flexibility.
Stratasys PolyJet 3D printing. UV-cured photopolymer with multi-material capability. Color and varying durometer in single part. Specialty for prototypes.
Key principles.
UV-cure resin jetting
Inkjet head deposits photopolymer. UV cures each layer.
Mix in single part
Multiple resins simultaneously. Hard + soft + colors.
Full color
RGB color blending in single print.
Ra 3-5 µm
Smooth surface. Better than FDM, similar to SLA.
490×390×200
Stratasys J series build size.
Lower mechanical
UV resins mechanically lower than functional plastics.
FAQ
Why PolyJet?
Multi-material in single part, color printing, smooth surface. Ideal for visual prototypes.
Material limitations?
UV-curable resins only. Lower mechanical properties than thermoplastic 3D printing.
Color accuracy?
Pantone-ish matching. Not truly Pantone-accurate. For design/marketing prototypes.
Tolerance?
±0.1 mm typical. Best 3D printing surface finish.
Cost?
Premium pricing — specialty materials and equipment. Per-part 2-3× SLA cost.
Major applications?
Visual prototypes for design review, anatomical models, dental models, surgical planning.
