WJP 3D Printing: Full-Colour Resin Models for Medical, Art & More

Potential of Full Colour Resins in WJP technology

One of the most attractive results you can achieve with 3D printing comes from using WJP (White Jet Process) technology and full-colour resin materials. This high-resolution technology can be applied in various industries, including the medical and educational fields, for artistic purposes, and also as props in movies, for creating realistic rapid prototypes and miniatures. It utilizes photopolymer jetting to create objects with a smooth surface, without the need for time-consuming post-processing. You can easily produce complex and precise 3D printed parts with WJP.

How Does WJP (White Jet Process) Technology Work?

These 3D Printers work in a very similar way to any inkjet printer. During the process, the printer jet layers of liquid photopolymer onto a build tray and then cures them with UV light.

After each thin layer of photosensitive resin is printed, it is irradiated with ultraviolet rays of a specific band to polymerise the full-colour resin just sprayed onto the building platform, achieving rapid curing. The nozzle continues working until the entire part is ready.

Benefits of WJP technology:

Accuracy:

With this innovative variable ink technology, you can achieve 3D printed parts with 600*600*1200 dpi printing accuracy.

Full colour objects:

Multicolour objects with ease; WJP technology combines digital imaging and material deposition to achieve full-colour, multi-material, voxel-level 3D printing.

Efficiency:

By utilising a full-width high-speed raster, wide-surface nozzle scanning injection molding method, we get a fast and efficient process of 3D Printing.

WJP vs Other Full-Color 3D Printing Technologies

Conclusion:

  1.Choose WJP for a great balance of color fidelity and strength.

  2.Opt for PolyJet if you need ultra-high detail and material simulation.

  3.Use ColorJet for low-cost, fast-turnaround visual models.

Application methods of WJP 3D printing technology

WJP technology's unique approach to 3D printing opens up new possibilities in additive manufacturing. You can create photorealistic parts with vibrant colours. At JLC3DP, we use an ABS-like resin throughout the process, which exhibits excellent mechanical properties, including high strength, high rigidity, and a certain level of heat resistance.

Medical industry

Multicolour 3D printing can be effectively applied in the medical industry. Doctors can now produce highly realistic, patient-specific anatomical models on demand.

To explain certain medical conditions, these 3D-printed organs and body parts help improve communication between doctors and patients by providing clear, tangible representations, enhancing patient understanding and engagement.

Alongside WJP 3D printing technology, other methods — such as SLA, or flexible materials like TPU used with FDM 3D printers — can also be applied to create practice models for surgeons. These samples support preoperative planning, reduce risks, and improve surgical efficiency.

Education

The application and benefits of 3D printing in the medical field are very diverse; it can also help medical students during their studies. A realistic, colourful 3D-printed organ supports the process of preparing for exams and, later on, working as a doctor. Of course, not only medical students can benefit from additive manufacturing. WJP 3D-printed parts can be used in any school to support teachers in presenting certain topics and lessons in the classroom.

Architecture

A miniature of a building or park, for example, can help architects present projects in the best possible way to their clients. Even if these models are just additional parts of the overall project, 3D printed elements can be a great help in showcasing their work. Architecture studios can utilize 3D printing in several ways.

Movie industry

As designing unique sets and sourcing the right items and materials can be time-consuming,  the movie industry increasingly relies on 3D printing, especially full-colour parts for creating props. WJP technology offers a great solution in this field as well. Realistic full-colour objects help set designers work more efficiently, while other methods like FDM and SLA 3D printing can also be game-changers in the prop-making process.

Museums & Art

When thinking about museums and their collections, there is often a need to conserve delicate pieces and create realistic replicas. Additive manufacturing offers an ideal solution for preserving, especially sculptures.

In addition to conservation, colourful 3D printed models also play an important role in museum education. Every year, thousands of children visit museums to learn about history and culture. Additive manufacturing allows them to interact with accurate, touchable versions of certain artifacts, enhancing the educational experience.
