micro3D Broadens 3D Printing Horizons with the Stratasys J850 Polyjet

micro3D, by IPFL, long recognized for its expertise in plastic machining, fabrication, and 3D printing, is expanding its Polyjet capabilities through the introduction of the latest Stratasys J850 printer. This addition enriches the company’s robust suite of 3D printing technologies, offering enhanced speed, accuracy, and material versatility.

Celebrating Two Decades of Polyjet Excellence

Since 2003, micro3D, by IPFL, has harnessed Polyjet technology to produce high-precision prototypes with complex geometries and intricate details. This extensive background allows micro3D to fully leverage the J850’s innovations, ensuring continued excellence in prototype and production services across various sectors, including medical, transport, aerospace, and defense.

Speed and Versatility: The J850 Advantage

Known as the fastest model within the Stratasys J-series, the J850 excels in creating accurate prototypes and tooling from a wide selection of materials. One of its most notable features, the new super high-speed mode, enables the simultaneous use of seven materials, boosting design iterations by a factor of five. This technology now allows micro3D to deliver:

• Strong, flexible, and transparent materials in a fraction of the usual production time
• Multi-material builds for complex parts requiring varied properties (hardness, color, translucency, etc.)
• Streamlined production workflows, thanks to integrated material bays that reduce downtime during changeovers

Polyjet Printing at its Finest

Polyjet printing involves jetting ultra-fine droplets of photopolymer resin onto the build platform, where they’re instantly cured by ultraviolet (UV) light. Reputed for its precision, Polyjet provides an unprecedented horizontal layer thickness as thin as 14 microns on the J850, supplemented by a generous build volume (495 × 395 × 195 mm).

Expanded Material Portfolio

• Agilus: A series of rigid photopolymers offering superior flexible performance
• VeroUltraClear: A glass-like polymer for transparent components
• ABS-Like: A high-temperature resistant photopolymer that resists warping

A Word from micro3D

Adam Bloomfield, Additive Manufacturing Manager, notes:

“With the Stratasys J850, we’ve significantly boosted our ability to meet the prototyping and production needs of our clients. We’re proud to have used Polyjet since 2003, refining our process for accuracy and repeatability. The J850 represents a notable step forward in our capability to produce medical devices, and it further enhances our overall 3D printing services.”

Sustaining a Legacy of Quality

For over 50 years, IPFL has delivered premium plastic components to clients spanning industrial, medical, transport, aerospace, consumer, defense, and security sectors. The new Stratasys J850 now integrates seamlessly with our existing lineup—reducing process interruptions, expanding material options, and reinforcing the commitment to providing state-of-the-art solutions.

Whether you require a rapid prototype, an overmolded-like product, or color-accurate part for high-impact visual design, the J850 helps us deliver top-tier results efficiently and reliably.
