3d printing and threading

[pol]

Hi, I just approached the world of 3d printing and couldn't find answers to some of my doubts, I hope you can help me!
the company for which I work has contacts with companies that produce fixing systems and we are thinking of buying a 3d printer in order to provide him with a prototyping service.
I thought of a polyjet machine for the wide range of usable materials (from rigid to rubber).
is it possible to create details with threads (both male and female) with polyjet technology?
which dimensional tolerances can be respected?
Thank you for your help!

you can, for example read here:http://www.stratasys.com/3d-printers/design-series/precision/objet260-connex

Thank you, I missed the paragraph in which the respected geometric tolerances report!

I will ask a difficult / delicate question: what are the advantages and disadvantages of polyjet technology against fdm? What does one prefer than the other?
Thank you!

fdm: robustness, size, repeatability, durability
polyjet: aesthetics, variety of materials
