Jetted photopolymer is an additive process that combines the techniques used in Inkjet Printing and Stereolithography. The method of building each layer is similar to Inkjet Printing, in that it uses an array of inkjet print heads to deposit tiny drops of build material and support material to form each layer of a part. However, as in Stereolithography, the build material is a liquid acrylate-based photopolymer that is cured by a UV lamp after each layer is deposited. The advantages of this process are very good accuracy and surface finishes. However, the feature detail and material properties are not quite as good as Stereolithography. As with Inkjet Printing, the most common application of this technology is prototypes used for form and fit testing. Other applications include jewelry and medical devices.
