A comprehensive guide to 3D printing plastic parts using PolyJet technology
What is PolyJet technology and how does it work?
Create prototypes, models, and patterns with unparalleled resolution and detail using PolyJet technology. Your designs can be realized with vibrant colors and final product-level quality.
Choose from over 100 material combinations, allowing you to display different material properties and aesthetic characteristics (such as flexibility and transparency) directly in your parts.
PolyJet is a 3D printing process that uses a UV-curable acrylic-based resin and operates on a similar principle to inkjet printing.
PolyJet technology spreads photosensitive polymer material in 14 or 27 micron layers for printing and uses UV light to solidify the material.
The models produced in this way do not require post-treatment, but immediately exit the 3D printer with final mechanical properties.
PolyJet can print both rigid and flexible materials in the same print job, allowing for the production of parts that are traditionally made using multi-component injection molding without the need for tooling. This technology is also capable of producing parts with Shore A hardnesses ranging from 30 to 95.
Because PolyJet eliminates the need for tooling and post-processing to produce parts that are traditionally produced by multi-component injection molding, it is often used to produce prototypes that require elastomeric surfaces (such as handles and buttons) or to test the material hardness of parts that require flexibility.

Realistic surface design with PolyJet
PolyJet is perfectly suited to meet the needs of designers who want realistic models, but have been forced to settle for models with inaccurate colors and rough and poor quality surfaces. PolyJet is VARINEX Zrt.'s fastest technology, which allows parts to be manufactured ready for delivery in a few hours.

Printing with multiple substrates with PolyJet
3D printing with PolyJet allows for the use of multiple materials in a single printing process, allowing you to quickly create realistic parts and start producing physical models of design variations early in the product development cycle.
3D printing with PolyJet ensures the highest possible accuracy and detail in the production of products.
The most common applications of PolyJet
With a wide range of PolyJet materials, you can combine multiple materials – within a single model – to simulate multi-component injection molding, produce flexible and multi-colored parts, and create complex models.
By utilizing photosensitive polymer materials to meet functional and aesthetic needs, PolyJet provides a cost-effective and efficient solution for prototyping and modeling.

Materials for 3D printing of parts with PolyJet technology for you
Our years of experience using PolyJet have made us experts in producing stunning quality 3D printed parts across a wide range of industries and materials.
Explore the incredible range of PolyJet material options and use multiple materials on the same model. Do the impossible in prototyping – simulate multi-component injection molding, create flexible, multi-color parts, and create complex models with layer thicknesses as low as 14 microns at high resolution (up from the standard 27 microns).
Vero (rigid)
Vero is a rigid and durable, photosensitive polymer material that is ideal for producing beautiful, realistic, dimensionally accurate models where detail and a high-quality finish are essential.
Agile 30A–95A (flexible)
Agilus is a rubbery, high-tensile, photosensitive PolyJet substrate that is resistant to repeated bending. Ideal for rapid prototyping and design verification, this rubbery material can simulate the appearance and function of rubbery products.
Agilus + Vero (multi-component injection molding)
Used for conceptual modeling of elastomeric product features, multi-component injection molding can produce parts with flexible and rigid elements in a single step. PolyJet's multi-component printing process combines the rubbery Agilus material with Vero materials.
Digital ABS Plus
Digital ABS Plus™ can be used to simulate standard ABS plastics, providing high levels of heat resistance and toughness. It is suitable for simulating parts that require high impact resistance and shock absorption. It significantly improves the mechanical performance of parts and prototypes used for design verification and functional testing.
Rigorous raw material
Rigur is a tough and durable material that simulates polypropylene. It provides reliable performance and is ideal for dimensionally stable prototypes. It is ideal for flexible snap-on joints and hinges.
