PCBWay has launched a new 3D printing service using PolyJet technology.
Expanding beyond PCB prototyping, PCBWay now offers several 3D printing processes, including FDM, SLA, SLS, SLM, MJF, and now PolyJet.
PolyJet is a highly precise resin-based technology. It works by depositing tiny resin droplets layer-by-layer onto a build plate, curing each layer with UV light. Support material is added as needed and removed after printing, creating detailed, smooth-surfaced objects.
PCBWay uses the Stratasys J850 Prime printer, which supports large build volumes (490 x 390 x 200 mm), making it suitable for prototypes and small production runs. PolyJet achieves exceptional precision, with a minimum wall thickness of 1.0mm and dimensional accuracy of ±0.1mm for 100mm parts.
What sets PolyJet apart is its ability to combine multiple resins in a single print, allowing for unique materials such as gradient transitions from rigid to flexible. It also supports full-color printing, with up to seven resins in one job, enabling parts with various colors, textures, and material properties in a single process.
PCBWay’s pricing depends on part size, material, quantity, and post-processing needs. Their online quoting system makes it easy to upload models and calculate costs instantly.
PCBWay also provides extensive post-processing services, such as painting, polishing, plating, coating, and assembly, making it a one-stop solution for creating polished, functional prototypes.
For high-quality, multi-material prototypes with smooth finishes, PCBWay’s PolyJet service is an excellent choice.
