MultiJet Features
Extreme Detail
With layer heights as low as 0.0006″ and an XY resolution of 1600 DPI, MultiJet is the highest-resolution 3D printing technology we offer. MultiJet outperforms PolyJet on most small parts.
Smooth Surface Finish
Because of its low layer heights, MultiJet parts have a smooth surface finish, comparable to injection molded parts.
Durable Material
While not as robust as FDM, MultiJet parts are durable enough to be handled without risk of breaking them. They are well suited to most cosmetic applications.
MultiJet Applications
Functional Parts
FDM is great for end-use parts as well as testing the functionality of designs that will eventually be injection molded.
Jigs & Fixtures
FDM is great for low-volume production of end-use parts, such as manufacturing aids and units for field testing.
Thermoform Tooling
Thanks to its high-heat resistance, we regularly use FDM to create molds for low-volume thermoforming.
MultiJet Materials
VisiJet M3-X
The primary MultiJet material we use here at 3 Space is VisiJet M3-X. It is a white ABS-like material with excellent durability and temperature-resistance. While not as strong as most FDM materials, it is well suited to prototyping and some end-use applications.
How MultiJet Works
MultiJet is a material jetting technology, much like PolyJet. Both technologies are derivative of stereolithography in that they produce parts from photopolymers which are cured by UV light.
- Solid material is heated up and melted in the printer
- Liquid material is fed into the print head
- Print head deposits material in grid of hundreds of tiny droplets
- Each layer of liquid material is solidified via exposure to UV light
