PolyJet Matrix technology delivers unprecedented multi-material capabilities through precision inkjet deposition and instant UV curing, enabling complex assemblies with integrated soft and hard components in a single manufacturing step. Ultra-thin layers produce smooth, presentation-ready surfaces with fine feature detail. Gel-like support material is removed with water jetting, revealing multi-material parts ready for evaluation.
Step 1 of 4
Multi-body STEP files are processed to identify different material regions. Each component is assigned specific material properties and print parameters for optimal quality.
Step 2 of 4
Advanced inkjet heads precisely deposit liquid photopolymer droplets for each material type. Multiple materials are jetted simultaneously with exact positioning control.
Step 3 of 4
Each deposited layer is immediately cured with UV light, solidifying the photopolymers while maintaining precise material boundaries and smooth surface finish.
Step 4 of 4
Gel-like support material is easily removed through water jetting and manual cleaning. Parts emerge with exceptional surface quality requiring minimal additional finishing.
