The pattern test is a tool to help monitor the health of print heads on Stratasys PolyJet 3D printers. This is a beginner-level test that anyone with basic user training can run and apply to the J55, J35, J5 MediJet, J5 DentaJet, or J3 DentaJet (turntable-style 3D printing). Minor details may vary (e.g., the number of print heads), but the concept is the same for all models.
Today's 3D scanning technology opens up a new avenue to producing high-quality digital food models, with full-color high-resolution 3D printers able to bring them into physical reality. The first step in developing a 3D printed part is to acquire high-quality image data of the object. The quality of the image data directly affects the efficiency of the workflow process and the realism of the final product. Therefore, choosing the correct 3D scanner is critical.

Personalized medicine is an emerging approach to healthcare that uses an individual's unique physical body and genetic profile to guide decisions made regarding the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease. This approach is based on the understanding that each person's genes, environment, and lifestyle can influence their risk of developing a disease and their response to treatment.
Medical image segmentation is the initial workflow process that includes isolating DICOM medical images, such as CT scans or MRI scans, into distinct structures or regions of interest (ROI). The goal for segmenting this type of data is to identify and explore areas of the anatomy, whether it’s tissue, cardiovascular, or bone. For example, virtually positioning CAD implants or creating water-tight mesh files for 3D printing patient-specific anatomical models.
PolyJet™ technology continues to push the boundaries of what is possible using traditional 3D printing. With its ability to quickly produce smooth and highly detailed parts, PolyJet has become an invaluable source for rapid prototyping and beyond.
The world of dental prosthetics is on the cusp of a significant transformation, all thanks to Stratasys, a global leader in polymer 3D printing solutions. Stratasys recently unveiled an innovative product set to redefine the way dental laboratories approach the fabrication of dentures: TrueDent™. This groundbreaking 3D printed denture technology is primed to address the increasing challenges faced by dental laboratories in catering to the growing prosthetic needs of edentulous patients.
While Stratasys PolyJet technology can create extremely realistic, multi-material anatomical models and functional parts for the dental industry, presently, there are few defined solutions for segmenting the teeth from the gums of a typical stone model or processed intraoral scan. This segmentation is a prerequisite for applying a different color/material to each element individually.
The new Stratasys J35 Pro PolyJet 3D printer was introduced to the world earlier this year, and it is quickly becoming one of the most talked about professional-grade, multi-material 3D printers today. One hot topic of discussion surrounds material options, specifically what materials the system can run and how can they be mixed and matched to provide different results. This article will attempt to bring the J35 Pro material configurations into clearer focus.
