PolyJet

High-Resolution Concept Models

PolyJet™ technology utilizes a high precision 3D printing process – A layer additive technology with layers as thin as 16 microns (0.0006") that is suitable for excellent appearance models and patterns for advanced urethane castings.

The PolyJet rapid prototyping process uses ink-jet technology combined with UV curable materials to quickly and economically produce highly detailed and accurate physical prototypes. With a layer thickness as small as 16 microns (.0006"), the PolyJet process is ideal for producing detailed prototypes for a variety of industries.

PolyJet prototypes are produced without any support vestiges, and with excellent up facing and down facing surfaces. A variety of materials, including clear, Shore A and Shore D materials are available.

PolyJet prototypes are best suited for applications where accuracy, detail and surface finish are important and the part fits within a 5" x 5" x 5" (127mm x 127mm x 127mm) build volume. While the maximum PolyJet build volume is 19.3" x 15.4" x 7.9" (490mm x 390mm x 200mm), other Rapid Prototype technologies may be more cost-effective for larger parts.

Typical applications for PolyJet prototypes include electronic components and connectors, electronic packaging, knobs, buttons, medical devices, fittings, valves and parts with complex interior features. PolyJet has also been used for tooling in low-temperature applications. It makes an excellent mold with releasable surfaces without requiring a secondary process for non-cosmetic applications.

Large Geometries

Large Geometries are no problem for Solid Concepts. We take on parts that others cannot or will not. Our arsenal of equipment includes the largest SLA machine available on the market. Pair this with our proprietary knowledge of large part assembly and you can expect extremely accurate large geometries.

Value

Value is the core of our mission statement. As one of the only service bureaus with a dedicated Quality Department, Solid Concepts consistently delivers high quality parts at affordable prices. This type of value comes from complete data security, on-time delivery, material choices, accuracy, expert part finishing and engineering expertise that helped pioneer the industry. Our expertise allows us to produce accurate prototypes, in less time and at a lower cost than any other service provider.

Fast & Reliable

Fast & Reliable service is a standard in which Solid Concepts prides itself. With 23 state-of-the-art SLA and PolyJet machines, we are the largest dedicated service provider of photocure in North America. Capacity translates to better on-time delivery. Large programs are no problem since we can commit several machines to demanding programs and complete even large orders quickly. Security is guaranteed with every project. Solid Concepts is committed to protecting the privacy of our customers and has gone to great lengths to give you peace-of-mind. We meet ITAR security regulations, and carry both ISO 9001 and AS 9100 certifications.

Finishing Expertise

Finishing Expertise is often the difference between a good prototype and a great prototype. Backed by many years of model making experience, Solid Concepts offers various hand finishing, non-cosmetic & cosmetic paint, texture, EMI & RFI shielding and plating options to closely simulate your production part. Complete in-house finishing capabilities and expert painters ensure production-quality prototypes delivered on time and ready for immediate application.

Material Choices

Material Choices is a luxury available with Solid Concepts. A wide variety of materials were meticulously selected to meet your project needs and give you true freedom of choice. We conducted an in-depth customer survey to determine what material attributes you find most important, then hand selected the best materials from four of the top photocure suppliers.

  • SolidView
    SolidView® software allows you to view, rotate, measure and communicate design intent with non-CAD users—starting with our free 3D CAD viewer—SolidView/Lite.
  • Prototypes
    PolyJet™ & SLA® provide accurate concept models and master patterns in record time. Complete in-house finishing capability for production-like prototypes.
  • SLS & DMLS
    SLS® produces rugged Nylon 11 and Nylon 12 prototype and production parts. DMLS utilizes metal and alloy materials to create strong metal parts without tooling.
  • FDM
    FDM (fused deposition modeling) produces both prototype and production parts from ABS plastic, polycarbonate, and Ultem materials.
  • CNC
    CNC prototypes, parts and master patterns are ideal in applications where the material property or size requirements make other prototyping techniques unsuitable.
  • Cast Urethane
    Cast Urethane (a proprietary advanced casting technology and advanced formula polymers) produce strong pre-production and short-run production components.
  • Composites
    Composites (fiber reinforced plastic) technology produces large, rigid, accurate panels with excellent strength-to-weight ratio and surface finish.
  • Tooling
    Tooling from Solid Concepts provides quick-turn tooling options for Chinese tooling & production, export tooling from China, and domestic tooling, all with domestic project management.
  • Molding
    Molding from Solid Concepts brings you the best of both worlds by providing Chinese pricing and lead times along with Solid Concepts quality and domestic project management.
