VistaTek has the largest Objet Polyjet capacity in North America, with this capacity we are able to turn CAD files into tangible 3D Objet Polyjet models quickly—in 1-3 Days!

The Objet® Polyjet technology creates a tangible, 3D prototype from CAD drawings by laying droplets of polymer resin down and curing it with ultraviolet lights. The Polyjet technology (3-D printing) has the ability to build parts in .001” and .0006” layers. After the parts in the build are complete, each VistaTek model is then hand-finished to your specifications. This includes anything from a rough-edged model to a glossy, painted real-life replica, depending on your needs. The Connex Family of Objet Printers has the ability to run multiple materials on the same platform. This allows us to achieve overmolding and living hinged parts.

This Objet polyjet prototype was built with a soft durometer overmolding and living hinge.

The end product is an exact physical model, of the 3D drawing - giving designers, engineers, manufacturers, sales managers, marketing directors and prospective customers the opportunity to handle an Objet polyjet model of the new product. In this way, design iterations can be made quickly and inexpensively, guaranteeing companies the best product possible, in the shortest time possible.
