Objet’s PolyJet Matrix Technology, a new direction in 3D printing, is the first technology that enables simultaneous jetting of different types of FullCure model materials. Objet’s Connex500 is the first 3D printing system that prints using the PolyJet Matrix technology offering the unique ability to print parts and assemblies made of multiple model materials, with different mechanical or physical properties, all in a single build.

The Connex500 can also fabricate Digital Materials on the fly, enabling users to create composite materials that have preset combinations of mechanical properties. By printing with Digital Materials, the Connex500 allows printing parts with specific “Shore A” values to match the values of the intended production materials.

PolyJet Matrix Technology brings development much closer to realizing the final product at an early stage, including feasibility testing and over-molding process simulation. This capability improves communication between different groups and decision makers in the company, such as R&D, internal/external customers, engineering, marketing, sales and management.

PolyJet Matrix Technology enables versatile multi-material printing options such as:

  • Mixed Tray – save valuable time by printingmultiple parts made with different materialsin a single build.
  • Mixed Parts – print a complete model usingmultiple model materials; eliminating theneed to design, print and glue together separate model parts.
  • Digital Materials – closely simulate thetarget product materials for early-stage testingwith composite materials made up of anytwo FullCure model materials.
