What is PolyJet 3D Printing Technology?
PolyJet™ 3D printing is an advanced technology that has redefined the production of intricate prototypes and functional parts. This revolutionary 3D printing method, developed by Stratasys, utilises photopolymers and material jetting to achieve exceptional precision. The PolyJet process involves jetting fine droplets of liquid photopolymer onto a build platform, layer by layer, which are cured instantly with UV light. This printing process ensures the creation of multi-material parts with vibrant colours, smooth finishes, and intricate details.
At Penta Patterns, we harness the power of PolyJet 3D printing to bring your ideas to life, offering unmatched precision and quality.
How Does PolyJet 3D Printing Work?
The PolyJet process combines cutting-edge technology with efficiency to deliver outstanding results:
1 - Design Phase
Start with a 3D CAD file that defines your project’s requirements.
2 - Jetting
Print heads deposit fine droplets of photopolymer resin onto the build tray.
3 - UV Curing
UV light cures each layer instantly, solidifying the structure.
4 - Support Materials
Support material is added to enable complex geometries and is removed post-printing.
The process is repeated layer by layer until the part is complete. PolyJet printers can produce multi-material prototypes that combine rigid and flexible components within a single model.

Stratasys PolyJet Technology
3D printing has come a long way since its inception. The first 3D printer, developed in the 1980s by Chuck Hull of 3D Systems, used stereolithography to create rapid prototypes. Initially limited to industrial use, 3D printing has since become accessible to hobbyists and businesses alike.
Today, the cost of 3D printing has decreased, and its applications have expanded across industries, from medical devices to large-scale construction. The adoption of 3D printing continues to grow, with technologies like volumetric 3D printing and metal 3D printing pushing boundaries even further.
