The inkjet industry is constantly evolving to cater to the needs of emerging and changing markets, requiring new capabilities as well as a drive to increase productivity and reduce cost. Presented is how a new high viscosity and high productivity capability using the Xaar 1003 printhead can extend the application of inkjet for 3D printing of photopolymer materials - with improved mechanical properties and scalability, enabling inkjet to compete with the performance of other photopolymer 3D printing technologies.
