Benefits of PolyJet 3D Printing Services
PolyJet 3D printing achieves ultra-fine resolution with layer heights as low as 16 microns, delivering sharp details and smooth as-printed surfaces ideal for high-fidelity prototypes. It supports simultaneous multi-material fabrication, combining rigid, transparent and rubber-like materials in one build to replicate overmolded parts and dual-hardness components. Water-soluble support material is simply washed away, enabling complex undercuts and intricate internal geometries. Minimal shrinkage and warpage guarantee reliable dimensional consistency for fit testing and presentation models. Suitable for rapid iterations and master patterns for urethane casting, PolyJet cuts development lead times and allows designers to validate appearance and functionality before costly tooling investment.

| Minimum Safe Linear Feature Size | Under 0.030” are at risk; under 0.020” will not build | Under 0.020” are at risk; under 0.010” will not build |
| Minimum Radial Feature Radius | 0.035″ | 0.030″ |
PolyJet Service Capabilities
Material Portfolio
Our certified PolyJet resins include rigid Vero series, flexible Agilus elastomers, transparent photopolymers, and biocompatible medical-grade materials. Custom color blends are available to simulate overmolding, optical lenses and soft-touch components for prototype validation.
Printing & Production Scale
Support for single one-off design prototypes, small batch low-volume runs (1-200 units), and master pattern production for urethane casting. Multi-unit nested build plates allow dozens of unique multi-material models to print in one cycle to compress development timelines.
Secondary Manufacturing
We offer light CNC machining for hole reaming and tapping to meet tight assembly tolerances. Additional services include custom part marking, serialized OEM labeling and bespoke packaging. Turnkey assembly covers hardware fitting and adhesive bonding, delivering finished subassemblies ready for direct integration.
Industry Application Support
MXY Machining provide tailored engineering guidance for multiple sectors such as automotive, medical, consumer electronics, industrial tooling and communications. Our PolyJet solutions support prototypes, anatomical models, overmockups and precision fixture components for diverse product development demands.
Quality Assurance
Every PolyJet order undergoes multi-stage inspection: post-print dimensional CMM measurement for tight-tolerance projects, material hardness/transparency verification for regulated medical/aerospace parts, and visual cosmetic audit for full-color consumer models.
Lead Time for PolyJet 3D printing Service
MXY Machining offer flexible lead times tailored to your project schedule and urgency. All timelines start from full confirmation of design specifications, material approval, and order details. Every schedule already includes time for engineering review, precision machining, strict quality inspection, required surface treatments, and secure packaging. We also provide regular progress updates throughout production, and can arrange custom priority schedules for time‑sensitive projects.
