Customer testimonials praise the exceptional results achieved through metal 3D printing

The benefits I see with HP Metal Jet technology are process robustness, high machine productivity, and surface finish. Now we do consider HP’s Metal Jet technology a viable option for serial part manufacturing. We plan to leverage this technology across Schneider Electric’s lines of business to bring new added value to our products and customers.

We see Metal Binder Jetting as the main growth driver for our Metal Additive Manufacturing division. Now, with the HP Metal Jet S100 Printing Solution, we can say AM has the possibility to enter into serial production markets.

By reducing the cycle time for the production of parts we can realize a higher volume of mass production very quickly.  That’s why HP’s new Metal Jet platform is a huge leap forward for the industry and we look forward to raising the bar on what is possible to deliver more value and innovation for our customers.

HP Metal Jet represents the first truly viable 3D technology for the industrial-scale production of metal parts.  Our customers demand extreme performance, quality, and reliability and HP’s advanced technology and heritage of market disruption give us the confidence to deliver beyond expectations.

Leverage Binder Jetting technology and HP’s expertise in additive manufacturing

Why metal 3D printing?

  • Innovative designs enabled for lightweight or consolidated parts, performance improvements and customization
  • Improved efficiencies and economics

Why binder jetting?

  • Higher productivity from layer by layer process; less post-processing and no support removal required 
  • Cost efficient by using metal powders from established global powder suppliers

Why HP Metal Jet 3D printing?

  • HP Thermal Inkjet printhead delivers economics and part quality (surface finish and accuracy)
  • Leverages IP from HP Latex and uses minimum binder agent allowing for thicker and larger mass parts

FAQs about metal 3D printing

Initially seen as a process for conceptual modeling and rapid prototyping, metal additive manufacturing (or) has experienced significant expansion in the last five years.

It is now used for prototyping, tooling, and final part manufacturing in various sectors, such as industrial, healthcare, automotive, consumer, and sporting goods. Metal additive manufacturing has applications in many areas of our lives, with more innovative uses in development.

Metal additive manufacturing is one of the disruptive technologies, revolutionizing how we approach design and manufacturing. Everyone from artists and designers to individuals, small and medium-sized businesses, and large corporations uses metal additive manufacturing to produce a variety of products, from consumer goods to large-scale operations. Metal additive manufacturing is here to stay.

The effective build volume of HP Metal Jet17 is 430 x 309 x 170 mm. Meets MPIF standards for stainless steel with HP Metal Jet SS 316L and HP Metal Jet SS 17-4PH materials.

The vast array of materials available for Metal Additive Manufacturing (MAM) is always expanding. The most used materials for MAM include stainless steel, aluminium, nickel, cobalt-chrome, and titanium alloys. Some MAM equipment manufacturers offer custom specifications of these standard materials for use with their printer parameters. Discover

HP Metal Jet technology is an example of metal binder jetting. HP Metal Jet builds on three decades of experience in Thermal Inkjet (TIJ), to deploy multiple print bars for optimal productivity. Dual integrated printheads apply a fluid binder precisely to bond metal particles on the print bed. A layer thickness of 35 to 140 microns across a 1200 x 1200 dpi grid allows for fine detail with precise edge definition. The binder formulation eliminates the need for a secondary wax debinding stage, saving up to 20 hours of process time compared to metal injection molding16.

The HP Metal Jet 3D Printing Solution is a digitally driven metal 3D printing solution for mass production. It delivers high-quality 3D parts with mechanical properties that meet demanding industry standards, unlocking new designs. This solution is ideal for OEMs and component suppliers in industrial, healthcare, automotive, consumer, and other industries that want to accelerate metal manufacturing with increased design freedom and efficiently 3D print quality metal parts at scale.

The cost of HP Metal Jet 3D printed parts can vary based on the specific application and quantity needed. For more details on the cost per part or the HP Metal Jet 3D Printing Solution costs, please contact an HP Metal Jet 3D printing expert.

Before choosing the right metal 3D printing process and machine for a specific application, it’s crucial to understand the essential metal additive manufacturing technologies and processes and how they operate.
