HP Delivers World's First Production-Ready 3D Printing SystemWith partners such as Nike and BMW, HP takes major step to reinvent prototyping and manufacturing industry with first commercial 3D printers based on open platform
ORLANDO, FL May 17, 2016 Today at RAPID, the largest 3D additive manufacturing conference, HP Inc. unveiled the world's first production-ready commercial 3D printing system, marking the next major step in its journey to bring disruptive manufacturing solutions to market.
The HP Jet Fusion 3D Printing Solution revolutionizes design, prototyping and manufacturing, and for the first time, delivers superior quality physical parts up to 10 times faster1 and at half the cost2 of current 3D print systems. By printing functional parts for the first time at the individual voxel level (a voxel is the 3D equivalent of a 2D pixel in traditional printing), HP offers customers an unprecedented ability to transform part properties and deliver mass customization..
News Highlights:
Designed for model shops and 3D print service bureaus, the HP Jet Fusion 3D Printing Solution offers:
Simplified workflow and reduced cost for radical prototyping
Delivery of final parts manufacturing with breakthrough economics
Open materials and software innovation platform that lowers barriers to adoption and enables new applications across industries
Our 3D printing platform is unique in its ability to address over 340 million voxels per second, versus one point at a time, giving our prototyping and manufacturing partners radically faster build speeds, functional parts and breakthrough economics, said Stephen Nigro, president of HP's 3D printing business. The new HP Jet Fusion 3D Printing Solution delivers a combination of speed, quality, and cost never seen in the industry. Businesses and manufacturers can completely rethink how they design and deliver solutions to their customers.
R&D to Lead the Industry
The new HP Jet Fusion 3D Printing Solution leverages HP's decades of research and expertise in precision mechanics, microfluidics and materials sciences. But no one company, not even one with HP's unparalleled expertise, scale or assets, can transform the global manufacturing industry alone. HP is proud to have the input and support of leading manufacturers, co-development partners and strategic partners, including Nike, BMW, Johnson & Johnson, Jabil, Siemens, Materialise, Shapeways, Autodesk, and Protolabs.
BMW is a pioneer and early adopter of innovative technologies in the field of additive manufacturing, especially for prototyping in concept cars and series-like approval builds. For our future roadmap toward serial part production and personal customization, we see major potential in our partnership with HP to investigate this new kind of 3D printing technology at an early stage. As one of the first partners, we had the chance to see the constant evolution of the machines over time from the first prototype approximately five years ago to the market ready product that is available now, says Jens Ertel, Head of BMW Group Additive Manufacturing Center.
HP is offering two new 3D printers, designed for rapid prototyping and production.
The HP Jet Fusion 3D 3200 Printer is ideal for prototyping, offering improved productivity and the capacity to grow usage at a lower cost per part.
The HP Jet Fusion 3D 4200 Printer is designed for prototyping and short-run manufacturing needs, with high productivity to meet same-day demands at the lowest cost per part.
A synchronized set of tools includes intuitive software, an innovative HP Jet Fusion 3D Processing Station with Fast Cooling, and high-quality materials.
Materials and Software Open Platform to Unleash 3D Printing
Delivering on the open-platform vision announced in 2014, HP and certified partners will collaborate to enable materials innovation and new applications for our HP Multi Jet Fusion Solution, leading to reduced 3D printing costs and faster industry adoption of 3D printing. HP is creating the 3D material app store and is already collaborating with such certified partners as Arkema, BASF, Evonik and Lehmann & Voss, with plans to expand the open platform ecosystem over time.
HP has also collaborated with industry-leading software partners to make the design-to-print process easier and more intuitive. Partners include Autodesk, Materialise and Siemens. Through its integration with key manufacturing software solution providers, HP is enabling deeper integration of 3D printing into manufacturing processes. HP is a founding member of the industry consortium that developed 3MF, an improved 3D printing file format. The HP Jet Fusion 3D Printing Solution is the first 3D printer to be fully compliant with this industry-leading standard.
Look to the Future
As HP expands its palette of materials and colors, customers will benefit from the ability to transform part properties at voxel level, giving unprecedented control and allowing limitless combinations of applications, colors, and materials with unique and as-yet unimagined properties.
The ability to print with embedded intelligence, like sensors in parts, is a key to the Internet of Things.
The printing of parts with embedded information, like invisible traces or codes, will deliver a future of increased security and tracking for reinventing supply chains.
Also, in the future, up to 50 percent custom plastic parts for the HP Jet Fusion 3D Printers are expected to be printed and produced with HP Multi Jet Fusion technology versus traditional manufacturing methods.
Paired with innovation like Sprout by HP, complete digitization of design through production will fundamentally disrupt traditional manufacturing. Digitization and 3D printing can help revitalize regions across the globe that are balancing sustainability with industrial growth. Digitization and 3D pr
