For engineers and designers, the role of 3D printing has shifted. It is no longer just about visual models or early-stage concepts. It is about producing functional prototypes that can be handled, tested, stressed, and trusted.
That is why we are pleased to announce that PolyJet ToughONE™ material is now available on the Stratasys J35™ Pro and J55™ Prime, bringing a new level of durability and engineering relevance to these compact PolyJet platforms.
This launch marks an important milestone in the continued evolution of the PolyJet family, and a significant opportunity for both existing users and organisations considering their first PolyJet system.
What ToughONE Changes for J3 and J5 Users
ToughONE has already proven its value on the J8 Series, where it has been widely adopted for functional prototyping and low-volume part validation. Now, that same material performance is accessible on the J35 Pro and J55 Prime, systems positioned as an affordable, highly capable entry point into PolyJet technology.
With ToughONE, users can now produce parts that offer:
- Enhanced toughness and impact resistance
- Improved durability for snap-fit, enclosure, and assembly testing
- Greater confidence in functional validation without leaving PolyJet
This is particularly valuable for teams that want to reduce reliance on secondary technologies or outsourcing when moving from visual prototypes to functional testing.
Expanding PolyJet’s Role in Engineering Workflows
PolyJet has long been recognised for its surface finish, fine detail, and multi-material capability. The addition of ToughONE on J3 and J5 platforms strengthens its position as a serious engineering tool, not just a design aid.
For engineers, this means:
- Faster iteration cycles, with functional parts produced in-house
- More accurate design validation using materials that better represent end-use behaviour
- Greater versatility by combining rigid, flexible, and tougher materials on a single platform
From housings and clips to jigs, fixtures, and ergonomic components, ToughONE opens the door to a broader range of real-world applications without sacrificing the precision PolyJet is known for.
A Compelling Entry Point for New Users
For organisations exploring PolyJet for the first time, the J35 Pro and J55 Prime now represent an even more compelling proposition.
They offer:
- A lower barrier to entry for functional prototyping
- Access to engineering-grade material performance
- A future-ready platform that scales with application needs
For service bureaus, design consultancies, and engineering teams supporting multiple clients or product lines, this update creates new commercial and technical opportunities, particularly where durability and speed are critical.
Building on Proven Success
The success of ToughONE on the J8 Series demonstrated clear demand for tougher, more functional PolyJet materials. Extending that capability to the J3 and J5 platforms reinforces the credibility of PolyJet as a production-ready prototyping solution and supports the broader repositioning of the technology across the market.
Whether you are an existing PolyJet user considering an upgrade, a legacy system owner looking to expand capability, or an engineer evaluating new tools, this release is designed to meet you where you are and help you go further.
