E01 – Polyjet – Additive Technologies (Rapid Prototyping)
May 12, 2010 - 6:55 pm
This is Episode 1 of a series of video blogs on Additive Technologies (also known as Rapid Prototyping).
Today we’re looking at the Multi-Material Polyjet machines which can mix both rigid and soft materials together on the fly to grow parts that simulate over-molding and other complex applications. This process is great for small to medium sized parts (it’s not always cost effective for large parts) and is often used for a variety of prototyping applications (the material is not usually suited for end-use applications), creating a direct tool for a silicone mold, and investment casting.

A short clip demonstrating the Investment casting process. Video coverage of our mold making process has been a bit light in recent seasons, so I’m going to poke around and see if I can get some better videos of our casting process. It’s an amazing and cost effective process, and these short clips only wet ones apatite I’m sure.
