PolyJet technology
The world's most accurate 3D printers: 3D printing precision prototypes from a wide variety of materials
PolyJet 3D printing technology is an efficient additive manufacturing method patented by Stratasys. 3D printers using PolyJet technology print in 16-micron layers, with accuracy of up to 0.1 mm across the entire work area for smooth surfaces, thin walls and complex geometries, and even higher accuracy for smaller models. PolyJet is a technology that supports the use of a wide range of materials, and with the Objet Connex2 and Connex3 printers, multiple materials can be printed simultaneously in the same part.
Raw materials
PolyJet technology can be used to 3D print a wide range of materials, creating realistic prototypes that closely resemble finished products. Models can be printed in layers as thin as 16 microns, with high precision, allowing for smooth surfaces and complex geometries. Material properties can range from rubbery to rigid, transparent to opaque, neutral to vibrant, and normal to biocompatible.

FDM technology
3D printing durable parts from real thermoplastics
FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) technology is an efficient additive manufacturing method patented by Stratasys. FDM allows you to create concept models, functional prototypes and end-user parts from standard, engineering and high-performance thermoplastics. It is the only professional 3D printing technology that uses industrial thermoplastics, resulting in parts with unparalleled mechanical, thermal and chemical resistance.
Raw materials
With FDM technology, you can create parts from the same strong plastics used in injection molding and other traditional manufacturing processes. You can harness the power of 3D printing while relying on the reliability of industrial thermoplastics.

SAF technology
Selective Absorption Fusion, or SAF™ technology, is a powder-based additive manufacturing process that produces high-quality end-user parts. SAF is the backbone of the Stratasys H-Series manufacturing platform, giving you extensive control over the printing process to achieve accurate, consistent production at competitive part costs.
This technology uses an infrared-sensitive fluid (HAF = High Absorbing Fluid) to fuse polymer powder particles in layers. The proprietary Big Wave™ powder handling system distributes the powder across the print bed, while industrial-grade piezoelectric print heads inject the fluid into specified areas to create the layers of the part. The heat emitted by an infrared lamp passing over the impregnated powder layer fuses the layer area of a given height, ensuring uniform thermal conditions across the entire length of the print bed and consistent part quality.
SAF industrial-grade additive manufacturing technology performs key 3D printing steps on the print bed in two phases but in the same direction, ensuring even heat distribution and consistency for all printed parts, regardless of where they are located on the print bed. SAF can also contribute to lower operating costs and increase their predictability. The Big Wave™ powder management system reduces powder aging, while the warranted, industrial piezoelectric print heads are designed to not require regular replacement.
P3 technology
Programmable Photopolymerization, or P3 technology for short, is an advancement of the DLP process. The perfectly synchronized printing process includes pneumatic controls that reduce drag forces during the printing process, resulting in exceptional surface quality – without sacrificing speed or isotropy. Paired with an advanced 4K projector, P3 technology delivers the best 3D printed part quality and performance in the industry.
Origin One 3D printers with P3 technology are capable of 3D printing complex geometries without support material, with fine detail and solid walls, with excellent surface quality similar to injection molding. As with traditional manufacturing processes, there are guidelines that result in high productivity and perfect quality, with minimized post-processing.
SLA technology
Industrial stereolithography systems are commonly used in the 3D printing industry for applications such as tooling, precision casting patterns, clear braces, large part production, and anatomical modeling. NEO 3D printers provide excellent surface quality, large build space, short print times, and affordable cost per part.
The Neo 3D printer family features dynamic laser beam technology that enables large-scale precision manufacturing and detailed printing. With an open substrate platform, Neo printers offer a wide range of substrate properties, including high chemical resistance, heat resistance, flexibility, durability, and optical transparency. The devices have a small footprint, yet can produce parts up to 800x800x600 mm.
