FAQs About PolyJet 3D Printing

  • How do I get a fast PolyJet 3D printing quote from NAITE TECH?

    Upload your CAD files and share your color, material, transparency, rubber-like feature, Shore hardness, quantity, tolerance, surface finish, and application requirements. Our engineers will review your project and provide material recommendations, DFM feedback, lead time, and quotation details.

  • What file formats do you accept for PolyJet quotes?

    We accept common 3D model formats including STL, STEP, STP, OBJ, IGES, SLDPRT, and 3MF. Drawings, renderings, color references, CMF files, and product images can help us provide better material and appearance recommendations.

  • What should I prepare for a PolyJet quote?

    Please provide CAD files, drawings, quantity, material requirements, color references, transparent areas, rubber-like sections, Shore hardness requirements, surface finish, tolerance, inspection needs, and application details.

  • Is PolyJet suitable for functional end-use parts?

    PolyJet is mainly recommended for visual prototypes, product review models, user testing samples, medical models, and presentation prototypes. For stronger functional nylon parts or end-use components, SLS or MJF may be a better choice.

  • Can PolyJet parts be polished, painted, or finished?

    Yes. PolyJet parts can be cleaned, polished, painted, clear coated, assembled, visually inspected, dimensionally checked, and packaged based on appearance, transparency, presentation, and delivery requirements.

  • How long does PolyJet 3D printing take?

    Typical PolyJet lead time is 3–7 days for many prototype projects. Lead time may vary depending on part size, material combination, color requirements, quantity, finishing, assembly, inspection, and packaging needs.

  • What tolerance can PolyJet 3D printing achieve?

    Typical PolyJet tolerance is around ±0.1–0.2 mm, depending on part size, geometry, wall thickness, material combination, print orientation, support removal, finishing, and inspection requirements.

  • What is the difference between PolyJet and SLA 3D printing?

    PolyJet is better for full-color, multi-material, transparent, rubber-like, and realistic product prototypes. SLA is often better for smooth single-material resin parts, clear resin prototypes, fine-detail appearance models, and lower-cost resin samples.

  • Is PolyJet suitable for transparent parts?

    Yes. Transparent PolyJet materials can be used for clear windows, display areas, covers, fluid path models, lenses, medical visualization, and prototypes with visible internal structures. Polishing or clear coating may be recommended when better clarity is required.

  • Can PolyJet combine rigid and rubber-like materials in one part?

    Yes. PolyJet can combine rigid, flexible, transparent, rubber-like, and colored material areas in one printed model, making it suitable for overmold-like samples, soft-touch grips, buttons, seals, and ergonomic product prototypes.

  • Can PolyJet 3D printing produce full-color prototypes?

    Yes. PolyJet can produce full-color prototype parts for product appearance review, CMF evaluation, marketing samples, user testing, medical visualization, and presentation models.

  • What materials are available for PolyJet 3D printing?

    PolyJet materials include rigid photopolymers, transparent materials, rubber-like materials, full-color materials, and multi-material combinations. Different material options can be selected based on appearance, flexibility, transparency, color, Shore hardness, and application requirements.

  • What is PolyJet 3D printing best for?

    PolyJet 3D printing is best for realistic product models, full-color prototypes, multi-material samples, transparent features, rubber-like parts, medical models, overmold-like prototypes, user testing models, and presentation-ready samples.
