Create prototypes, models and patterns in unparalleled resolution and detail with PolyJet. See your design come to fruition in vibrant color and end-product feel.
With over 100 material combinations to choose from, you can incorporate diverse material properties and aesthetics – including flexibility and opacity – directly into your component.
Realistic Finishes with PolyJet
PolyJet is the perfect solution for designers who want realistic models but have to contend with inconsistent color results and rough finishes.
PolyJet is the fastest technology in the Stratasys Direct arsenal, with parts ready to be shipped in hours.
Multi-Material Build with PolyJet
3D printing with PolyJet allows you to incorporate multiple materials into a single print, resulting in quick production of realistic parts and design iterations early in the product development life cycle.
3D printing with PolyJet means the smoothest precision possible with fine resolutions that bring delicate features to life.
How Does PolyJet Work?
PolyJet builds by jetting layers of liquid photopolymer at 27 microns (0.00106”) layer by layer as a UV light cures simultaneously.
PolyJet can print rigid and flexible materials in a single build to create over-molded parts without tooling. The technology delivers parts with shore hardness ranging from 30A-95A.
Because PolyJet doesn’t require hard tooling to deliver an over-molded part, it is frequently used for prototypes requiring an elastomeric surface, such as grips or buttons, or for testing material hardness.
What PolyJet Applications Can I Make?
Using our wide variety of PolyJet materials, you can combine several materials to simulate over-molding, build flexible and multi-colored parts, and create complex models.
With a range of photopolymers to address functionality and cosmetic needs, PolyJet offers a cost effective and efficient solution for prototyping or modeling.

How fast is PolyJet compared to other 3D printing technologies?
PolyJet is extremely fast – the fastest of all our technologies.
The actual turnaround time depends on the size of the component and desired resolution, but we ship most parts within 2 or 3 days upon receiving the order.
What level of detail can be obtained with PolyJet?
PolyJet is excellent at producing fine feature detail. At its highest resolution, PolyJet can build in layers as thin as 0.00063” and with an X/Y resolution of 0.0017”.
Can components built with PolyJet function as production parts?
Yes, they can be used in some production and end-use applications. At Stratasys Direct, we have internal production uses of PolyJet.
However, PolyJet materials are photocured resin which do not remain stable with prolonged exposure to UV light.
Some high-requirement production applications are better suited to technologies that utilize thermoplastics like FDM and Laser Sintering.
