Application/Finishing Briefs:

Silicone Molds For Urethane Castings
Silicone rubber molding is a perfect solution to fill the gap between one-off rapid prototyping and prototype injection molding.

Penetrating Dye for Translucent Color
To add color and preserve the translucency of PolyJet models, apply a penetrating, aniline dye.

Clear or Translucent Models
Not all plastic parts are opaque. For clear parts such as lenses, containers, covers, or panels, PolyJet™ offers the advantages of rapid prototyping with the translucency needed for the application.

Painting Show Quality Models
For sales samples and photography models, painted PolyJet™ parts will give your customers a preview of your newest products.

Investment Casting for Prototypes and Low Volume Production
With investment casting, a wide variety of metal alloys are available, and the cast parts have exceptional surface finish and dimensional accuracy.

Electroplating Model Preparation
For product demonstrations or functional applications, electroplating adds the look and characteristics of metal to a PolyJet™ model.

Thermoforming for Prototype and Short-Run Applications
Thermoforming is a collection of manufacturing methods that heat and form sheets of extruded plastic. Thermoforming processes include drape, vacuum and pressure forming.

Sand Casting
This process guide describes the application of Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM®) to automated (flaskless) casting with green sand. However, the information provided is also applicable to flask casting and dry sand.
