Triple-jetting technology–What is it?

 

Introducing Triple-Jetting Possibilities
Work efficiently, expand production possibilities and achieve ultimate final-product realism.

Triple-jetting 3D printers employ the most advanced PolyJet technology.

Similar to inkjet document printing, PolyJet 3D printing jets micro-layers of liquid photopolymer onto a build tray, then cures it with UV light. The layers build up one at a time to create a fully realized 3D part or prototype. These fully cured parts can be handled and used immediately, without any additional curing or finishing.

Along with the selected model materials, triple-jetting 3D printers also jet a gel-like support material specially formulated to uphold overhangs and complex geometries during the printing process.

When completed, the gel is easily removed by WaterJet.

PolyJet 3D Printing technology benefits manufacturers with its professional quality and speed, high precision and wide choice of materials. PolyJet technology is also renowned for precision prototyping needs, setting the standard for finished-product realism.

 

It allows precise printing with three materials, which means parts can be created with more complexity and
sophistication than ever before – and in a wide range of material properties, from rigid to rubber-like.

These systems enable unprecedented production-floor efficiencies and product-development improvements with astounding versatility. Our newly evolved triple-jetting platform tackles a wide range of manufacturing and
design needs, from ultra-realistic color prototypes and custom jigs and fixtures to injection molds and end-use parts. Build whole products with diverse materials — or mix unrelated parts — in one automated job for maximum uptime and minimum intervention. With easy operation, great material capacity and hot-swapping capabilities, the workflow is as smooth and impressive as the parts you create.

Multiple Material Options for Multi-Material Parts
Rigid Opaque:
Use for precise, accurate tools, like check gauges and assembly fixtures, or for detailed
research models. Combine with other materials for complex parts.
Transparent:
Build clear models or transparent/opaque combinations including opaque model interiors
with transparent exteriors, and parts that allow liquid and air flow monitoring.
Rubber-like:
Enhance tools with soft, non-slip surfaces and add any number of flexible details to models and advanced prototypes.
Specialty materials:
Build custom medical devices and research aids with Bio-compatible material. Choose High temperature material for use with hot liquids and hot air-flow. Conduct advanced prototyping with Simulated Polypropylene.
Digital Materials:
The Connex2 and Connex3 platforms offer over 100 material options — including Digital
ABS™ — perfect for durable end-use parts.
Color:
Objet500 Connex3 is the only 3D printer to offer its extraordinary level of final product realism. Extensive true-to-life color options allow integration of vibrant colors into multimaterial parts — even in translucent or opaque combinations
