FullCure®850 VeroGray. The new material provides excellent
dimensional stability, great detail visualization and surface quality for rapid prototype models.
Durable parts ideal for engineering simulation and models in transit:
A unique combination of low Water Absorption value (ASTM D570-98 24Hr)
and Heat Deflection Temperature (ASTM D-648) enables VeroGray 3D models to
maintain their dimensional stability in changing environmental
conditions such as transit.
VeroGray also offers excellent Flexural Strength (95 MPa) and Flexural
Modulus along with Tensile Strength of 60 MPa making it ideal for
engineering simulation and structural testing. With the superb surface
quality and detail visualization of the opaque, rigid VeroGray
material, 3D rapid prototype models look and feel like molded plastic parts. This is
valuable whenever plastic simulation is required, such as for toys,
automotive products, consumer goods and electronics, medical equipment,
piping and more.
“Fit and form testing capabilities, are inherent to Objet PolyJet printed parts due to the parts’ smooth surfaces and
fine details. VeroGray further enhances ability to
evaluate designs by enabling rigorous engineering simulation. FullCure®850 VeroGray allows mechanical engineers and designers in various
markets and industries to create functional prototypes requiring the
simulation of plastic.
- Deflection Temperature at 0.46 MPa (Celcius) = 95
- Deflection Temperature at 1.8 MPa (Celcius) = 85
- Melting Point (Celcius) = 130

Hi Folks and welcome to my first Kaiser3D rapid prototype blog entry. I am Rob Kiser, the owner of Kaiser3D, a rapid prototype manufacturer based in Cedar Park, TX, just northwest of Austin. I decided to begin a blog page in order to enhance information flow to users of the Objet PolyJet technology using knowledge gained as a former PolyJet 3D Printer Field/Applications Engineer. We currently employ the Objet Polyjet rapid prototype 3D printer systems to produce rapid prototype models. I started my business in January 2007 with one PolyJet Eden333 3D printer. I quickly graduated to owning a second Eden333, then found myself needing the larger capacity and speed of the PolyJet Eden500V in order to meet my customer's increasing demand for high resolution rapid prototype models.
I chose the Polyjet 3D printing system because of the system's high reliability factor, repeatability, ease of use, and high surface resolution. As a former PolyJet and Selective Laser Sintering Field and Applications Engineer who serviced some very high caliber companies, I found these 4 items critical to a company's success in efficient product development goals. Engineers and designers in the companies I serviced require a one-off rapid prototype that doesn't require reproduction due to a system malfunction, system calibration problem, or operator error. These are reasons why it was critical to properly educate my users. How does this help you? We have the knowledge and experience at Kaiser3D to turn out a product that is most likely going to be the best PolyJet model you can expect.
My experience with PolyJet 3D printer and Selective Laser Sintering systems, coupled with years of overall experience in many aspects of the Rapid Prototype industry, have led me to trust that these two technologies are the best the industry has to offer.
I am very glad you have chosen to view my blog and expect to regularly see some very informative rapid prototyping information that I hope benefits you as users of PolyJet 3D printer technology. Always feel free to add comments to my blog entries, let me know your experiences, and also know that no question is a dumb question.
