Polyjet Printing in GrabCAD Print

Beginner
This tutorial is an intro to the settings options available in GrabCAD Print for PolyJet printing. PolyJet is a 3D printing technology developed by Stratasys that allows for rigid, opaque, multi-color, transparent and flexible prints. PolyJet uses multiple print heads to deposit liquid plastic onto a clean build platform layer by layer in high resolution. The material is cured as it is deposited and to support material a print can be water blasted to remove a majority of the material. GrabCAD Print is the software developed by GrabCAD to plan and execute prints for Stratasys printers. With this tool, users can import CAD assemblies onto the build tray, plan printing jobs more efficiently, and remotely monitor a print.

PolyJet Multi-Materials For Impact Resistance

Impact resistance, or toughness, is defined by the relative susceptibility of plastics to fracture under stresses applied at high speeds. In materials science and metallurgy, impact resistance is a material’s resistance to fracture when stressed. It is defined as the amount of energy per volume that a material can absorb before rupturing. Many of today’s appliances have to endure impact due to how they are used, accidents, safety requirements, and more. The impact resistance of plastics can be improved by adding a soft material coating on top of hard plastic materials. The following is brought to you by Stratasys.

How To Dry Sparse FDM Parts

3D Printing

Intermediate
When sparse FDM parts are placed into a support removal tank, they can fill up with solution from the tank and water from the rinse. Most of this solution or water will drain from parts naturally within 30 minutes of their removal from the tank. However, in some cases, geometry will trap some liquid inside. Later, this liquid will slowly leach out. To avoid this, we recommend using a vacuum and/or oven to completely remove any liquid from your FDM parts. The best method is to use the vacuum first, followed by the oven. Either method can be effective individually if you increase the amount of time the part is in the oven or the number of vacuum cycles applied to the part.

Finite element analysis (FEA) is a computer-based method of analyzing and simulating the behavior of components under a variety of conditions, including force, temperature, vibration, and motion. FEA calculates displacements, strains, and stresses under internal and external loads. These predictions confirm if a design is suitable or if modifications are required to prevent failure.

Printing with VeroClear model material makes translucent both possible and practical. With a little post-processing, you can control the degree of model transparency. The clarity of VeroClear parts will improve after one to two days in an office environment due to the exposure of white light. The following is brought to you by Stratasys.
