PolyJet™
PolyJet is a multi-material additive manufacturing process used for detailed prototypes, anatomical models, tooling, and visual or functional models. D2M helps clients assess where PolyJet fits the application, material requirement, workflow, documentation, and quality-control context.
Helps teams match PolyJet capability to the model purpose and user workflow.
Connects material selection to visual, tactile, or anatomical requirements.
Supports documentation planning for governed model production.
Keeps system selection tied to application demand and operating context.
How does it work?
How the Technology Is Assessed
PolyJet™ should be evaluated against the application, material requirement, build or measurement envelope, operating environment, post-processing needs, and inspection route.
The process route is only one part of the system. Teams also need file control, operator workflow, quality records, maintenance planning, and clear approval points before the technology becomes an operating capability.
Why choose PolyJet™?
Why the Selection Process Matters
PolyJet™ may be useful where its process characteristics match the application requirement. It should not be selected because it is available or familiar.
D2M compares candidate applications, materials, production constraints, inspection needs, and commercial assumptions before recommending a route. The result is a technology decision tied to workflow and governance, not a machine-led purchase.
