VeroBlue PolyJet prototype of dinosaur head
3D prototyping or 3D rapid prototyping uses a 3D printing process to quickly make low quantities of rubber-like parts. Lead times for 3D prototype printing are typically 3-5 days. 3D prototype printing uses PolyJet technology to extrude a photo polymer from a printhead and cure it with a UV lamp.

Benefits of PolyJet 3D Printing

The main advantage of this 3D printing process is the fine layer thickness in the Z dimension, allows small features along sidewalls and upfacing surfaces. It can use a wider range of materials, including the low durometer rubber-like TangoBlack and TangoGray. 3D printing is a relatively inexpensive rapid prototyping technology. 3D product printing is well-suited for parts with extremely fine detail that cannot be captured with stereolithography (SLA) or other rapid prototyping techniques.

PolyJet 3D Printing technologies

  • ObJet Geometries makes the Eden series of PolyJet 3D printers.
  • Stratasys formerly sold ObJet Eden machines in the US.
