Material Jetting (MJ)

Are you familiar with the different 3D printing categories and processes? Additive manufacturing in the medical technology and pharmaceutical industries deals with the production of complex workpieces, prototypes and individual custom-made products for patients. Different processes are used depending on the need and requirement. In today’s edition of our acroro SNAPS, we would like to explain the principle behind material jetting, the areas of application and the differences to other 3D printing processes.

The biggest advantage of material jetting is the multi-material printing potential, the high precision as well as the possibility to produce full color models. This allows doctors and medical professionals to more easily and understandably educate patients about diseases or procedures through visual support.

Want to learn more about medical 3D printing? Then you should take another look at our SNAPS library and learn about other 3D printing processes such as Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) or Selective Laser Sintering (SLS).
