To take what's in
your imagination,
and put it in your
hands-- it's pure magic.
It seemed so out of this world.
This could put manufacturing
in a lot more people's hands.
PolyJet is amazing, because
of the type of quality
that you get.
You get really high definition.
You get great
surface resolutions,
and you can have multiple parts
in your hands within hours.
It's the fastest
technology that we offer.
PolyJet really shines with its
surface finish and its ability
to resolve very fine features.
The PolyJet process
extrudes out,
or jets out a liquid resin that
can be cured with a UV light.
They are made to react
to ultraviolet light.
And so that's the catalyst
that causes these two
separate components
to come together
to form the third,
solid plastic component.
So with the PolyJet system,
it jets out a thin layer
of the photopolymer resin.
It cures it with the
UV light, and then
builds a cross section of
that part, layer by layer.
So after one cross
section is deposited,
the platform will drop
down, allowing the gantry
to pass with layer number two.
And then every subsequent
layer after that.
When the part has
completed building,
we will remove it
from the platform.
So the parts coming off of this
technology are really smooth.
They don't require as
much hand finishing
and post finishing
after, and they
can create parts with really,
really good looking detail.
We do paint ready.
We do very custom,
detailed work.
So if you're looking for that
amazing showpiece for a trade
show, that's something
that we can definitely
accomplish in-house.
They say a picture's
worth a thousand words.
A part's worth a
thousand pictures.
What we can do with
PolyJet-- there's just
such a wide range of materials.
We're printing hard
plastics, and we're
printing soft Shore material.
And we're able to make
overmold pieces now,
where you're combining
the two materials.
So like a drill that has a hard
substrate, and a rubber grip,
you can build that in one piece.
Stratasys Direct Manufacturing,
having the engineering
talent on our end
to work with the engineering
talent on the customer's end
is real exciting, because that's
where the good stuff happens.
You get to be a part
of someone's idea,
and then make that a reality.
And if we put those
tools in their hands,
we don't know what they're
going to come up with.
And that is just awesome.
I can't wait to just kind of
sit back, and watch what's
going to happen out of that.
