  • Gaps for mating parts: 0.1mm off of each wall
  • Avoid sharp corners at
  • Avoid enclosed designs. To remove support material from PolyJet parts, the machinist must have line-of-sight access to all areas that require cleaning.
  • Ribbing helps avoid warping on long, flat parts

About the Process

PolyJet is a 3D printing technology similar to inkjet document printing, but instead of jetting drops of ink onto paper, PolyJet 3D printers jet layers of liquid photopolymer onto a build tray and instantly cure them with UV light. The layers build up to create a precise 3D model or prototype.

Along with the selected model materials, the PolyJet 3D printer also jets a gel-like support material specially designed to uphold overhangs and complicated geometries. It is easily removed by hand or water.

What is Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) and How Does it Work?

Many additive manufacturing processes offer low cost per part, high dimensional tolerances, and fast cycle times, but selective laser sintering (SLS) is one of the best options. SLS’s speed, resolution, and laser accuracy combined with advances in the raw materials allows for rapid iteration and high-quality finished parts. The self-supporting nature of the process enables […]
