Digital Photopolymer
Digital photopolymer is a PolyJet material that can be printed in multiple hardnesses and colors.
Product Description
Protolabs’ PolyJet process builds parts comprised of digital photopolymer. The material is available in multiple Shore A hardnesses and colors: clear/translucent, white, and black. It supports complex geometries and can take on a range of mechanical properties.
Applications
Digital photopolymer can be leveraged in a variety of 3D printing applications
that incorporate flexible features. It’s routinely used to prototype overmolded
and liquid silicone rubber parts such as: gaskets, seals, covers, and straps.
Key Product Benefits
- Two-toned coloring aesthetics
- Soft touch and flexible features
- Improved grip and impact resistance
