What is PolyJet?

PolyJet is a high-resolution 3D printing technology that uses inkjet-style printheads to deposit liquid photopolymer resin layer by layer, which is then cured with UV light. This process allows for exceptional detail, smooth surface finishes, and the ability to print in multiple materials and colors within a single part.

PolyJet is ideal for creating highly accurate prototypes, complex geometries, and soft-touch components, making it popular in industries like medical, automotive, and consumer goods. Its ability to simulate different textures, transparency, and rubber-like properties makes it a versatile choice for functional prototyping and design validation.

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.

PolyJet Standard Tolerances

MXY Machining dimensional specifications align with official Stratasys PolyJet design standards, split into two print resolution modes with distinct build envelope limits, feature minimums, and linear deviation tolerances for precision design planning:
 
Description Standard Resolution High Resolution
Max Build Envelope  29” x 25” x 21” 10” x 10” x 10”
Fixed Layer Height  0.004″ 0.002″
XY Plane Dimensional Tolerance  +/- 0.005” for the first inch, plus +/- 0.002” for every inch thereafter +/- 0.005” for the first inch, plus +/- 0.002” for every inch thereafter
Z Plane Dimensional Tolerance  +/- 0.010” for the first inch, plus +/- 0.002” for every inch thereafter +/- 0.010” for the first inch, plus +/- 0.002” for every inch thereafter
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″

Surface finishes for PolyJet

We offer finishing services for PolyJet, providing a wide range of finishing options to enhance both the durability and appearance of your parts. Whether it’s for prototyping or full-scale production, our finishing solutions ensure that your parts meet the highest standards of performance and visual appeal for all needs.

The baseline finish after automated support removal with high-pressure water jets. Faint micro layer lines remain visible under close inspection, surface texture stays consistent with native printed resin. Ideal for internal functional fit testing, rapid design iteration reviews, and non-cosmetic internal fixture components. Flexible Agilus elastomer parts retain their native matte rubber texture with this treatment.
Uniform dry bead blasting softens residual layer lines and minor print artifacts to create an even, consistent satin matte texture across rigid and flexible resins alike. Blasting removes tiny surface burrs without altering critical dimensional tolerances, serving as the perfect pre-treatment step for painting, dyeing or clear coating. Popular for automotive interior prototypes and consumer product display models requiring uniform non-reflective surfaces.
Multi-stage progressive grit hand sanding eliminates all visible layer lines for ultra-smooth surfaces. Fine polishing delivers two tiered cosmetic grades:
  1. Satin Semi-Gloss: Balanced low-reflection smooth finish for general consumer prototypes
  2. High-Gloss Crystal Polish: Mirror-smooth transparent finish for clear VeroClear lens models, removing haze and boosting light transmission for optical testing applications. Sanding/polishing removes a thin uniform material layer; we adjust tolerances for mating assembly features to compensate for material loss.
Parts are primed to create a uniform base layer, then custom airbrushed to match brand Pantone/RAL color specifications, including matte, satin, and gloss paint sheens. Paint fully hides underlying layer lines and multi-material print boundaries for monolithic showroom-quality concept models. We offer clear protective topcoats post-painting to resist fingerprints, scuffs and minor chemical abrasion for long-term display use.
Transparent polyurethane clear coat can be applied over raw, blasted or sanded parts to boost scratch resistance, seal porous resin micro-pits, and enhance transparency for clear PolyJet components. Gloss clear coat amplifies light clarity for optical prototypes, while matte clear coat delivers a premium soft-touch non-reflective finish for consumer-facing hardware casings.
