Material Jetting (MJ)
An ultraviolet-sensitive gel is deposited by a print head then immediately cured by a UV lamp.
Material jetting is a solution for designers who want excellent visual models with an end-product feel. This technology also allows for multiple materials to be incorporated into one print. It is good for complex, flexible models.

Key Characteristics
More Information
Agilus30 is a photopolymer with excellent flexibility and tear-resistance due to it’s rubber-like qualities.
- Flexible
Tango Black is a flexible photopolymer that can simulate thermoplastic elastomers with flexible, rubber-like qualities.
- Elastomeric
- Flexible
Vero Clear is a transparent photopolymer that simulates acrylic and can be used as an alternate to glass.
- Clear/ Translucent
- High Resolution/High Detail
- Rigid
Vero Family
The Vero Family is a photopolymer offering multi-color applications, strength, and stiffness. Photopolymers may be blended with other photopolymers to vary flexibility, translucency, and heat resistance.

Material Jetting Finishing Levels
Level
Process
Description
1
Supports removed
Standard finish, supported surfaces appearing matte and non-supported surfaces appearing glossy. Parts will have slight layer lines.
2
Part built using matte build settings and supports removed
Standard finish, parts built surrounded in support. All surfaces appear matte. Parts will have slight layer lines.
3*
Supports removed and cosmetic surfaces sanded to 320 grit
Show quality finish, removes layer lines. Parts are prime and paint ready.
4*
Supports removed and cosmetic surfaces wet sanded to 600 grit
High gloss finish, recommended only for plating and optically clear parts (note that clear-coat and light bleaching is necessary for optimal clarity).
* Elastomeric materials can only be finished to Level 1 and Level 2. For a higher quality finish, these materials may be coated in soft touch.
