PolyJet 3D printing is an advanced additive manufacturing technology that uses inkjet-style print heads to jet layers of liquid photopolymer onto a build platform. The liquid is immediately cured using UV light, creating solid layers. This process allows for the creation of highly detailed parts with smooth surfaces and the ability to use multiple materials or colors in a single print. PolyJet is ideal for applications that require fine details, multi-material capabilities, and prototypes that closely mimic the final product in terms of texture, color, and flexibility.
