Stratasys J850™ Digital Anatomy™
PolyJet medical modeling system for anatomical models where OEM-documented materials, workflow, and use context need to be reviewed.
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.
- Model purpose defined before system selection
- Material and user workflow reviewed together
- Documentation needs considered for healthcare and design contexts
- Application fit assessed before production use
Process considerations
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 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 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.

Application and industry context
Relevant industries
PolyJet can support healthcare, product development, industrial design, and education use cases when the workflow, material route, documentation, and user requirements are defined.
Application opportunities
Candidate applications are reviewed against model fidelity, material behavior, documentation needs, user workflow, and approval route before PolyJet is recommended.
