AB PolyJet technology, based on the printing and photopolymerization of model material, is currently, along with stereolithography or 3SP (Scan, Spin and Selectively Photocure), the most commonly used rapid prototyping method based on optically active resin. The article presents the results of torsional strength tests of samples made of optically active resins VeroDentPlus-MED690, VeroClear-RGD810, and Rigur-RGD450 by Stratasys in PolyJet technology. The samples were prepared in HQ (High Quality) mode with a layer height 0.016 [mm]. The tests included a static torsion test using a specialized research stand by the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the Rzeszow University of Technology. The scope of research significantly expanded the standard procedure, which complements the material data available with significant functional parameters due to the use of models. The results of the torsional strength analysis determined in the research process can be used to define the potential application area of the materials in question - optically active resins and their processing techniques for the production of parts subject to complex loads, i.e. machine shafts, clutches, and gear hubs.
