PolyJet Matrix™ Technology

Applications

Plugs and seals – Create a watertight barrier or airtight seal directly on the part in one build process. Over molding parts and double-injection process simulation Labeling, texture and imprints – Apply unique visual effects and transparency to differentiate areas of interest and create aesthetic appeal, without post-processing. Durable end-use parts – Answer most of the design requirements by creating complex structures in a single build process. – Eliminate design restrictions and facilitate part creation with accurate look, feel and functionality. Shock absorption and impact resistance Coating parts – Coat rigid material with flexible material to create a final part with specific touch-and-feel properties, flexibility and more. Biomedical and translucent parts – For protective covering, vibration damping and improved performance. – Combination of transparent FullCure720 and opaque FullCure Vero materials enables creation of translucent medical models that show nerves, tumors and other details. Living hinges, gaskets and hoses – Create parts that withstand repeated bending and flexing, with excellent elongation at break combined with very good tear resistance.

Unique Feature Set

PolyJet Matrix Technology provides the innovative and unique opportunity to create models and prototypes with varied multiple materials in a single build. The Connex family of 3D Printing Systems uses this technology as the foundation for creating almost any complex multi-material 3D shape with unprecedented detail, accuracy, speed, and ease-of-use. Multi-material Parts Mixed Trays Multi-material parts that closely emulate the final product are printed in a single build, eliminating gluing and complex post-processing. To maximize system yield, varied material parts can be simultaneously created on a single tray, saving materials replacement time and enabling multiple users to build models at the same time. Digital Materials A wide variety of composite materials are used to create models that mimic the mechanical properties and color tones of end- products. 16-micron Super-thin Layers for Smooth Surfaces Microscopic drops are jetted in super-thin layers of just 16 microns (0.0006 inch), producing ultra-smooth surfaces regardless of geometric complexity.
