Technology Overview
Multi-Material Integration
PolyJet revolutionizes prototyping by seamlessly integrating multiple materials in a single build. Create complex assemblies with rigid housings, flexible gaskets, and transparent windows all printed simultaneously.
Advanced manufacturing capabilities enable complex geometries, functional prototypes, and end-use production parts that would be impossible or cost-prohibitive with traditional manufacturing methods. From functional prototypes to end-use production parts, this technology delivers exceptional performance across demanding industries.
Multi-Material Solutions
Multi-Material High-Detail Prototypes
Revolutionary multi-material technology that enables simultaneous printing of rigid, flexible, and transparent materials in a single build, creating complex assemblies with varying shore hardness and mechanical properties. From consumer electronics housings with integrated gaskets to medical devices with multiple material zones, PolyJet eliminates assembly steps while delivering exceptional surface quality and fine feature resolution for demanding applications.
Multi-Material Innovation
Design freedom reaches new levels with PolyJet's ability to create graduated material properties within single parts, enabling flexible hinges, soft-touch surfaces, and transparent windows integrated seamlessly. The UV-curing process produces parts with smooth surfaces requiring minimal post-processing, while water-soluble support materials enable complex internal geometries and delicate features. Color mixing capabilities create full-color prototypes and realistic product samples for marketing and user testing.

Material Surface Finishes
PolyJet parts feature exceptional surface quality straight from the printer, with smooth finishes and fine detail resolution that often require minimal post-processing. The natural finish maintains intricate details while providing production-like aesthetics, making PolyJet ideal for design validation and presentation models.
Natural Finish
As-Printed Surface Quality
PolyJet Matrix parts feature exceptional surface quality straight from the printer with minimal layer lines and smooth finish. The natural finish maintains fine detail resolution while providing a slightly off-white color with matte texture. This finish is ideal for functional testing and design validation without additional processing.

PolyJet Matrix Design Guidelines
Essential design considerations to optimize your PolyJet Matrix parts for manufacturing success.
Maximum Build Volume
380 × 284 × 380 mm (15 × 11.2 × 15 in)
Our Stratasys J750 DAP and Connex3 printers offer a maximum build volume of 380 × 284 × 380 mm (15 × 11.2 × 15 in), accommodating both small detailed components and larger assemblies. The system operates with a precise 28-micron layer height for exceptional detail resolution.
Multi-material builds require multi-body STEP files with separate bodies for each material assignment.
Tolerances
±0.2% (Lower limit of ±0.2 mm)
PolyJet achieves exceptional dimensional accuracy with tolerances of ±0.2% (minimum ±0.2 mm). Parts with large flat surfaces may experience slight warping, so avoid these geometries when tight tolerances are critical.
Include engineering drawings for parts requiring specific tolerances.
Layer Height
28 Microns
The ultra-fine 28-micron layer height provides exceptional detail resolution and smooth surface finish. This precision enables fine features, sharp edges, and intricate geometries that would be difficult to achieve with other 3D printing technologies.
The fine layer height minimizes stepping artifacts on curved surfaces and angled features.
Surface Finish
Smooth, Ra 1-3 μm
PolyJet parts emerge with smooth, injection-molded quality surface finish straight from the printer. The combination of fine layer height and precise material deposition results in minimal post-processing requirements for most applications.
Gel-like support material removes cleanly without leaving marks on supported surfaces.
Advantages of PolyJet 3D Printing for Prototyping & Production
PolyJet empowers designers with unprecedented multi-material capabilities, enabling the creation of rubber-like prototypes with variable shore hardness, overmolds, soft-touch parts, and complex assemblies. This versatility combined with exceptional surface finish makes PolyJet ideal for creating highly aesthetic prototypes that accurately mimic injection-molded plastics and multi-material production parts.
