rapid prototyping
polyjet 3d printing system
The PolyJet process uses inkjet style technology to apply photo curing resin in layers only 16 microns thick (.0006 in.) or 1600 dpi. Each layer has an x and y resolution of 600 x 600 dpi. This results in rapid prototypes and rapid manufactured parts with highest resolution available and smooth surface finishes.
Our Stratasys J750 3d printer utilizes multiple materials, in multiple durometers, allowing full color prints in over 300,000 colors.
The PolyJet process requires very little post processing which allows us to turn around parts very quickly.
Delivery time – a few hours to days.
sla – stereolithography
The “grand daddy” of rapid prototyping and rapid manufacturing, SLA uses UV lasers to cure liquid epoxy resin into a solid model. The laser traces the shape of the part from 3d STL file and bonds consecutive layers together, stacking them to form finished parts. Our typical layer thickness is .004 in. x and y accuracy is excellent. You can expect dimensions under 5” to be within .005 in. over 5”, expect +/- .002 in.
Our skilled technicians and model makers focus on speed and accuracy. We turn around most SLA projects overnight. Get us a file by 3pm mountain time and we will generally ship the next day. If more time is required for your project, we will let you know before we start.
We are committed to providing beautiful SLA pieces. We understand that you care as much about quality as you do speed. We will dedicate the time necessary to finish your parts to meet our quality standards – you will be impressed with the quality of our work.
We offer two different sla resins in house: Somos Prototherm and SL Visijet Impact. Impact offers extremely high impact strength and resistance to breakage and is one of the strongest most robust sla resin available. Prototherm is a high temperture resin that is translucent red incolor and is capabile of heat deflection up to 230 degrees farenheit. in addition we utilize a variety other resins that are available upon request.
