3D Systems Produces a line of photopolymer-based inkjet systems. The technology is sold under the InVision TM brand. Use of a large number of jets makes them relatively speedy. 3D also uses the name Multi-Jet Modeling (MJM) for the technology. Formerly this name was applied to the company's systems that used a wax-like thermoplastic material. fcubic AB (Sweden) The company is developing an inkjet-based production system for manufacturing small stainless steel parts. Currently fcubic is operating as a service bureau. Parts are typically 2 to 25mm, and can be manufactured in volumes of one or two thousand per day. The goal is to eventually license turnkey systems for high-volume production systems capable of 10,000 parts per day for parts fitting within a 10mm cube. FUJIFILM Dimatix, Inc. The company makes inkjet-based systems that can be used for diverse additive manufacturing applications. Objet Geometries Ltd. (Israel) Offers the PolyJetTM process based on depositing photopolymer with a wide area inkjet head. Curing is layer by layer using UV exposure. Undercuts and overhangs are supported by a second, wash-away photopolymer. Solidscape, Inc. Provides high resolution inkjet systems with a single jet each for build and support materials.
