Purpose: The paper presents an approach to rapid manufacture of new product by PolyJet technology. Design/methodology/approach: Resolution, accuracy, speed and materials are basic factors of rapid prototyping, which mutually exclude themselves on most devices. PolyJet procedure is a technology, which successfully simultaneously solves some of these problems. Findings: The manufacture of product by PolyJet technology has proved to be a good approach. All advantages offered by that technology have been applied and all requirements of the new product have been satisfied. By testing on the first prototype the adequacy of the product shape has been established and the prototype has been suitably adapted. As the data on the product shape are in the computerized form, the changes on the product are made simply. Research limitations/implications: Regrettably, the models from rapid prototyping do not allow major loadings and exposure to exacting conditions, since the materials used are in the development stage and are gradually gaining strength and toughness. Our product is not exposed to major mechanical loadings; therefore the process as such is adequate. Practical implications: By this technology very sophisticated and complicated products can be made. It assures the manufacture of nested structures and mechanisms already assembled. The price is influenced only by the product size. The shape complexity is not important at all. Originality/value: : In case of a small quantity of products, not exposed to major mechanical loadings, the models made by PolyJet process are usable also as final products.
