Polyjet Printing
The advantages of both plastic and powder-based methods are combined in the entire 3D printing system known as polyjet technology. It has the ability to create thin walls and sophisticated geometries using the broadest range of materials now imaginable with any technology, with microscopic layer accuracy and precision down to 0.014 mm. Additionally, it provides the most power, efficiency, dependability, reliability, and versatility in a single print. If you want to give your prototype a little extra in terms of style, substance, and accuracy, polyjet is the way to go. Additionally, polyjet printing generates precise and smudge-free prototypes, tools, and parts.

Multi-Jet Modeling (MJM)
In the MJM process, photopolymers that have been stacked on top of one another are cured using UV light. MJM coats concrete surfaces with liquid acrylic polymer layers utilizing a printer and one or more nozzles. The printhead follows predefined instructions (made using a CAD model) till the whole production of a layer (made using a CAD model). Additionally, this technique completely eliminates the need for manual labor during support removal. It enables a comprehensive matte finish of even the most delicate features and intricate internal cavities without causing any harm.
3D Printing Materials Used in MJM Technology
- Transparent Acrylic
- Frosted Details
- UV Cured Acrylic Plastics
- Castable Wax
Applications
- High-detail and intricate components
- Precise mold and casting templates
- Design prototypes
- Filigreed concept-based models
- Models with thin walls
- High-end model making
- Models with a delicate design
