PolyJet—short for Polymer Jetting—is an inkjet-based additive manufacturing process originally developed by Objet Geometries around 1998. In 2011, Objet merged with Stratasys, and the technology continued to evolve into one of the most precise additive manufacturing processes available.
The PolyJet 3D printing process produces smooth, highly accurate parts by depositing extremely small layers of photopolymer material. Because of the fine layer resolution, PolyJet 3D printing is well-suited for parts that require tight tolerances, smooth surfaces, and intricate features.
PolyJet also offers one of the widest material ranges in additive manufacturing, from rigid plastics to flexible elastomers. Some materials are even designed for rapid tooling and 3D printed molds, typically capable of producing 10–100 molded parts depending on geometry, size, and molding material.
Most PolyJet 3D printing applications include:
Industries such as consumer products, automotive, electronics, film production, and healthcare frequently use PolyJet 3D printing services for complex prototype models.
The Technology House (TTH) has the capabilities to manufacture accurate prototypes and production parts using advanced PolyJet technology.
PolyJet 3D printing works by jetting microscopic droplets of photopolymer material onto a build platform. These droplets are immediately cured using UV light to solidify each layer.
The process repeats layer by layer until the entire model is complete. Multiple materials and colors can be deposited simultaneously, allowing engineers to create multi-material components or full-color models in a single build.
The final result is a smooth, highly detailed 3D model with precise geometry and excellent surface finish.
PolyJet 3D Printing Advantages
PolyJet Best Uses
Not sure which additive manufacturing process is best for your application? At TTH, we offer multiple technologies, including Carbon DLS, stereolithography (SLA), selective laser sintering (SLS), fused deposition modeling (FDM), and HP Multi Jet Fusion (MJF), along with a wide range of materials to produce parts closer to production-ready components.
PolyJet 3D printing materials provide one of the widest material ranges available in additive manufacturing. Material durometers can range from 20A flexible elastomers to 90D rigid plastics, with options for transparent parts, high-temperature materials, and full-color printing.
Some of the most commonly used materials include:
See the full list of available PolyJet materials for additional options. If you do not see the material you need, visit our materials page for additional additive manufacturing materials across other technologies.
PolyJet 3D printing technology has been used in additive manufacturing for more than 20 years and continues to evolve with larger build platforms and improved resolution.
Modern PolyJet systems can build parts with platforms up to 20” × 15” × 8” (500 × 380 × 200 mm) while producing extremely fine layers as small as 0.00055 inches.
Some systems can jet up to six different materials simultaneously, allowing engineers to create prototypes with multiple colors, varying textures, transparent sections, and different durometers in a single print.
Each additive manufacturing technology has its own design considerations. Below are common guidelines when selecting PolyJet 3D printing services.
I have partnered closely with TTH for over a year, and working with them has been a wonderful experience. Their entire team is always pleasant to work with, their project managers are incredibly knowledgeable, and their attention to quality and timeliness is best in class. I simply cannot recommend them highly enough for any project big or small.

Most of my 30 year career has been spent finding vendors that meet my Cost, Service, and Quality requirements. The number of suppliers that can meet those criteria for a sustainable period of time are few. TTH is one of those companies. The management team at TTH is always willing to work with us to improve efficiency and offer solutions that exceed our expectations. If you are looking for a partner, not just a supplier, the team at TTH will not disappoint.

See how we partnered with Vitamix and Carbon to redefine what's possible. We took a legacy, six-piece, injection-molded part design and turned it into a new, one-piece, 3D-printed part.
Our integrated approach to design, prototyping, and production allows you to bring your concept to market faster and more cost-effectively than virtually anyone else.
