What is Polyjet 3D printing?

Polyjet 3D printing is an additive manufacturing process similar to inkjet printing, but instead of ink, it jets liquid photopolymer onto a printing bed and cures it with UV light. It helps turn designs into scaled prototypes as close to the designed model. It is mainly used in the earliest stages of product development and can be used in conceptual models, functional prototypes, tooling, and electronics.

3D printing requires 3D CAD models to print a part or assembly. The 3D models can be made using parametric CAD software such as Solidworks and CATIA V5, or Subdivision modeling software such as 3DS and Blender.

Advanced 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing

What are the advantages & disadvantages of using Polyjet?

Polyjet is used over other 3D printing processes due to:
   -    Accurate features
   -    Good surface finishing

There are some disadvantages to using Polyjet:
   -    Weak results (layers can be split)
   -    Nozzle clogging

How is it fabricated?

The 3D printer slices the 3D model into several cross sections. The nozzle moves along two axes and jets liquid UV-sensitive photopolymer onto a platform. Next, UV light is used to solidify the deposited layer of photopolymer. When a whole layer of the desired shape is deposited, the platform moves down to deposit the next layer. If the part requires support structure, drops of wax are jetted to support the model, which will be removed later by heating the printed piece.

Once the 3D printed model is finished, it can be removed from the platform. Post-processing might be required to remove any excess material and burrs or to smooth surfaces.

Polyjet 3D Printing

- Most used materials:
   •   Polycarbonate-like Resin
   •   polypropylene-like resin
   •   Rubber-like resin

Parts and assemblies should follow specific design rules to be printed correctly. Norck offers engineering services that will help you confirm your design for 3D printing.
