TissueMatrix
Soft and Contractile Material
As the softest commercially available 3D printing material, it enables the creation of anatomical models that feel and behave like native organ tissue when force is applied.
Because of its stickiness and instability, TissueMatrix cannot be printed as a pure material. Combined with Agilus30, it creates a range – from highly extensible to stiffened – to simulate fatty tissue, fibrotic tissue, soft organs and tumors.

TissueMatrix is soft and flexible, but durable enough for suturing, cutting, inserting, and deploying devices.
A study comparing the biomechanical properties of porcine tissue to 3D printed myocardium found that Digital Anatomy printed models mimic real tissue better than any other material.
Key Features
- Provides similar compliance to real tissue
- Has similar failure modes to real tissue
- Creates highly repeatable results
- Targets stiffness values

Advantages of PolyJet Technology
Advantages of parts built with a Stratasys PolyJet Machine
Realistic Parts
Stratasys PolyJet 3D Printers are based on proven technology, which creates precise prototypes that set the standard for finished-product realism.
Their fine resolution makes complex shapes, intricate details and smooth surfaces possible.
Precise Models
PolyJet 3D Printing works by jetting layers of liquid photopolymer onto a build tray and instantly curing them with UV light.
The fine layers build up to create a precise 3D model or prototype. Models are ready to handle right out of the 3D printer, with no post-curing needed.
Better ideas, easier sell
PolyJet 3D printed models improve communication and collaboration because they produce amazingly accurate representations of your ideas that you can share with your team and your clients for a faster, more confident buy-in.
