The Stratasys J55 Prime is a PolyJet 3D printer that has a variety of new and unique features, such as a rotating print platform. The powerful device can print with 5 materials at a time, excluding the carrier material, and offers the ability to create over 640,000 unique combinations, including Pantone Verified colors and transparent materials. The vibrant color finishes allow users to save time that might otherwise have been spent hand-painting to create the perfect finish. Furthermore, the J55 Prime also presents a more affordable alternative to Stratasys’ other PolyJet printers such as the J850.
Stratasys is known for its PolyJet solutions, which can be used for a number of applications and industries. As you may know, PolyJet is the patented technology that Stratasys acquired along with Objet Ltd. back in 2012. The process is known for its ability to create multicolor and multi-material parts, as well as for the aesthetic properties of the finished product and ability to add textures. PolyJet is also known as material jetting and involves the use of a printhead with photopolymers. But what sets the J55 Prime apart from other material jetting solutions?
The J55 Prime, a Compact Yet Multifunctional Device
Stratasys outlines that the J55 Prime has a number of desirable features for users. First, it is office friendly. The printer is ultra-quiet operating at under 53 decibels, the equivalent to a household refrigerator. In addition to that, the J55 Prime’s Aero Air Extractor captures and filters out fumes, which allows odor-free use in any kind of environment. Beyond that, Stratasys claims that the J55 Prime offers the best footprint-to-tray ratio on the market meaning that users are able to fit a larger maximum number of models in one print. This is thanks to the aforementioned rotating print platform and stationary printhead. The company also highlights the quality of the machine thanks to its high resolution and fast prints.
