About Project
Feast your eyes on this charming Henry Fox miniature, brought to life through the wonders of WJP (Wax Jet Printing) full-color 3D printing technology! This little character showcases the impressive color fidelity and detail achievable with this advanced method.
Notice the rich blues and crisp whites, perfectly capturing the essence of the original 3D model. The surface finish is remarkably smooth, a testament to the precision of the WJP process. What truly sets this miniature apart is its exceptional color accuracy. Compared to other full-color 3D printing techniques, the blue areas on Henry are strikingly close to the intended digital design. The boundaries between colors are sharp and clean, with minimal bleeding, resulting in a truly vibrant and professional-looking piece.
This detailed miniature highlights the potential of full-color 3D printing for creating intricate figurines, prototypes with realistic color representation, and even personalized gifts that truly stand out.

Solution
- Step 1: A 3D digital model of the Henry Fox miniature was first created using computer-aided design (CAD) software.
- Step 2: The digital model was then uploaded to the Wax Jet Printing (WJP) system.
- Step 3: Layer by layer, a build material, typically a photopolymer resin, was selectively jetted onto the build platform.
- Step 4: Simultaneously, colored inks were precisely deposited according to the color information in the digital model for each layer.
- Step 5: After each layer was jetted, it was cured or solidified using a UV light source.
- Step 6: This process of jetting and curing was repeated until the entire miniature was formed.
- Step 7: Once the printing process was complete, the build platform was removed from the printer.
- Step 8: Support structures, which were often generated to support overhangs and intricate details, were carefully removed from the printed miniature.
- Step 9: A post-processing cleaning step was performed to remove any residual uncured material.
- Step 10: The finished full-color Henry Fox miniature was then ready for inspection and delivery.
