Just as when we have a design on screen we speak of a pixel as the element that will determine its resolution, in Multi Jet Fusion printing, we speak of “voxel” as the factor that measures the resolution or degree of finishing of the piece.
In fact, as we mentioned before, the piece is printed by ink-jet heads (hence the multi jet) with a horizontal resolution similar to that of an inkjet printer.
The third dimension or height of the voxel, is provided by the thickness of the base material, which would be equivalent to the paper in our simile. The layers of this material can be around 80 microns. A record that will give your pieces a very high precision.
