PolyJet
Jets photopolymers layer by layer, allowing full-color printing that combines rigid and flexible materials in a single part.
How it works
1. Jetting
The print head, similar to an inkjet printer, deposits millions of microdroplets of liquid photopolymer onto the platform.
2. Material mixing
The head can deposit different materials at the same time (rigid, flexible, colored), creating digital materials with hybrid properties.
3. Instant polymerization
UV lamps mounted directly on the print head instantly cure the photopolymer as soon as it is deposited.
4. Upward movement
The platform lowers minimally and the process repeats layer by layer, with no need for a resin vat.
5. Support removal
The support material is gel-like or water-soluble and is removed gently with a pressurized water jet.
Tools that solve real problems
Dozens of tools used by professional 3D shops, inside your EduFacturing dashboard. Some are free with an account; the rest are part of the Pro plan.
Which material do I need?
Configurator across dozens of filaments and resins with live AWIN data. Find the right one by application, tech and properties.
Which printer should I buy?
Configurator over thousands of models: hobby to industrial. Recommendation matching your budget, with live AWIN pricing.
Which 3D tech fits my project?
Technology selector: FDM, SLA, SLS, MJF, SLM… Recommendation based on part, batch size and quality you need.
How do I make my part printable?
DfAM configurator: geometry analysis, recommendations for walls, overhangs, supports, orientation. Cut trial-and-error cycles.
Where do I start with 3D printing?
Personal start guide: based on your profile (hobby / business / education) finds the right steps, products and materials.
FDM vs SLA vs SLS: which one for me?
Side-by-side tech comparison: resolution, speed, strength, cost, surface finish. Decide on numbers, not marketing.
How much does my print cost?
Calculate cost in seconds: material, power, depreciation, labor, profit margin. Save quotes to your library.
My print keeps failing?
Defect diagnostic: symptom → cause → fix. Save hours of painful trial-and-error.
What slicer settings should I use?
223-parameter slicer reference + profile generator per printer + material. Drop straight into Cura/PrusaSlicer/Bambu.
I have a project: where do I start?
Structured plan: phases, materials, budget, timeline. Bill of Materials generated + client-ready export.
I want everything about one material
Interactive book per material: chemistry, mechanics, printability, post-processing, real cases. PLA ships first, more on the way.
How do I manage my material inventory?
Personal spool inventory: ratings, leftovers, side-by-side comparisons. Always know what you have.
