PolyJet Technology

Advanced Features

Embedded in the Eden product line are the breakthrough features of Objet’s PolyJet technology. Objet’s exclusive focus on photopolymer jetting drives the technology to ever-higher achievements in ultra-thin build layers, material properties, accuracy, speed, and ease-of-use. • 16-micron Super-Thin Layers for Smooth Surfaces Microscopic drops are jetted in super-thin layers of just 16 microns (0.0006”). This results in ultra-smooth surfaces regardless of the geometric complexity of the model. • Thin Walls for Unique Geometries The high-precision jetting of PolyJet technology enables super-thin walls, down to 0.6mm, depending on the geometry. • 100 to 300-Micron Accuracy A combination of fine chemical development, precise mechanics and electronics, and advanced software features enables builds that fit very tight tolerances of 100 microns for most models, and up to 300 microns for all geometries. • Clean, Easy Process Objet’s 3-D Printing Systems can be used in an office-type facility, as the model and support materials are environmentally stable and are loaded in sealed cartridges, with the model material fully cured (Solidifield) immediately after build. The PolyLog™ materials management system optimizes materials usage and alerts the user when cartridges should be replaced. Objet Studio software is simple to use and intuitive, enabling virtually anyone to operate Objet systems efficiently. • Durable Models for a Variety of Applications An integral part of the PolyJet technology is the Objet FullCure® line of proprietary photopolymer resins. These materials offer excellent flexibility, impact strength and transparency, producing durable models suitable for snap fits and frequent handling.The FullCure line includes multiple colors and the unique Tango flexible rubber-like materials. • Easy Support Removal on any Geometry • High-Speed Jetting for Greater Productivity Objet’s support and model materials are completely separated with a high pressure WaterJet, resulting in clean, smooth surfaces. This process is quick and simple and allows finishing of most parts within 5 – 10 minutes. Fast jetting combined with easy support removal creates finished models, ready for use, in record time. PolyJet technology uses a raster process to produce photopolymer models, enabling the machine to build in slices of 65mm (2.5”) rather than point-by-point. Several models can therefore be created in the same amount of time it takes other technologies to produce a single model. The combination of a raster process with high-speed mechanical movement further reduces build times compared to alternative technologies.
