POLYJET 3D PRINTING

Objet Eden 350v - Technical Details

The PolyJet 3D Printing Technology Process

Objet’s patented PolyJet inkjet technology works by jetting state of the art photopolymer materials in ultra-thin layers (16µ) onto a build tray layer by layer until the part is completed.

Each photopolymer layer is cured by UV light immediately after it is jetted, producing fully cured models that can be handled and used immediately, without post-curing. The gel-like support material, which is specially designed to support complicated geometries, is easily removed by hand and water jetting. 

System Features:

• 16-micron Super-Thin Layers for Smooth Surfaces
Microscopic drops are jetted in super-thin layers of just
16 microns (0.0006”). This results in ultra-smooth surfaces
regardless of the geometric complexity of the model. • Thin walls down to 0.6mm
• 100 to 300-Micron Accuracy
A combination of fine chemical development, precise
mechanics and electronics, and advanced software features
enables builds that fit very tight tolerances of 100 microns for most models, and up to 300 microns for all geometries.

EXAMPLE PARTS
The following are example parts, the pictures of which have been borrowed from the Objet website. We at the CETL are working on a variety of applications using our Eden 350v, and we will be posting images of our progress as we go. In the meantime, we hope that these pictures will give you a sense of what is possible from this new machine.
 
AUTOMOTIVE
This tire was produced in Tango Black and shows the incredible amount of detail provided by the Eden machine. The bellows was also printed in Tango Black and shows the flexibility of this material. Tango Plus (translucent amber color) and Tango Black plus exhibit 218% elongation to failure while Tango Black is somewhat harder and less ductile, but still has an impressive 48% elongation at failure.  
 
CONSUMER PRODUCTS
 
This buckle has a snap lock, made possible by the 44% elongation of Durus White.
