Solid Concepts’ now offers PolyJet Green Fire. PolyJet Green Fire is a material built on the Connex multi-material PolyJet platform. Green Fire has a higher elongation at break and higher impact strength than other PolyJet and Stereolithography (SLA) materials, providing properties for enhanced functional use.
PolyJet is an additive manufacturing process used to produce prototypes, models, and master patterns for cast urethanes, to name a few. PolyJet is most appreciated for its ability to print in very fine layer resolutions and therefore deliver accurate prototypes for form, fit, and appearance evaluation rather than functional testing. Now, with the addition of PolyJet Green Fire, the process receives an upgrade from the beautiful to the beautifully functional.
Green Fire is more rigid and prints in 0.00118” layer thickness. It has a high impact strength similar to functional thermoplastics, which sets it apart from other epoxy acrylate oligomers used in PolyJet and SLA processes. The green color affords product details better contrast, thereby revealing more design aesthetics of the product.
