HP additive manufacturing and industrial 3D printers
HP Multi Jet Fusion and Metal Jet systems, polymer and metal materials, process stations, application development and production support.
HP ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING
From a digital model to repeatable industrial production
The HP 3D Printing programme covers industrial systems, process stations, software, materials and application development. It supports functional prototypes, tools and fixtures, spare parts and serial production of finished components.
Industrial polymer additive manufacturing for rapid production of functional parts and series without conventional tooling. The process enables high packing density, repeatable quality and geometric freedom.
HP Metal Jet
HP Metal Jet S100 - development, production and scalable mass-production configurations.
Binder-jet technology for productive manufacture of metal components where design, volume and economics justify an additive process. Final system selection depends on material, dimensions, tolerances and the post-processing plan.
Materials and powders
The portfolio includes polymers for different mechanical, thermal, aesthetic and functional requirements, including PA 12 and other materials qualified for the selected HP system. Material is selected for the application, not by powder name alone.
Process stations and material management
Build-unit preparation, cooling, unpacking, sieving and reuse of the appropriate material fraction are integral to the production flow. Their organisation directly affects capacity and part cost.
Powder Handling Automation
A closed, pneumatically connected material flow reduces manual labour, supports mix consistency and enables traceability of powder flow, lots and generations.
Automatic Unpacking Station
Industrial automatic unpacking for consistent results and a more continuous HP Jet Fusion 5200 production workflow.
Natural Cooling Unit
The build cools outside the printer, freeing the system for the next cycle and supporting continuous production.
Typical industrial applications
UAV and drone componentsMetal Jet partsIndustrial additive manufacturing
Automotive and rubber
Tools, fixtures, ducts, functional parts and production-development components.
Aerospace and unmanned systems
Lightweight functional parts, ducts, brackets and complex geometries.
Mechanical engineering
Guards, housings, grippers, templates and spare parts.
Medical and orthopaedics
Personalised and serial products within approved materials and processes.
Consumer products
Short series, personalisation and consolidation of several parts into one component.
Electronics
Housings, holders, ducts and functional components adapted to the assembly.
Business-case and application development
Assessment starts with the 3D model, material, quantity, tolerances, finish and cost of the existing process. Orientation, nesting, post-processing and the appropriate system are then defined.
HP 3D FOR DRONES
Dedicated programme for UAV, USV, ROV and UUV components
Housings, structural parts, ducts, sensor and gimbal mounts, guards, battery enclosures and modular payload assemblies — from prototype to production series.
Industrial production systems for a higher weekly output of finished parts, a 380 × 284 × 380 mm build space, broader material portfolio and integrated powder-management workflow.
White and advanced production
Systems and materials for high-quality white and dyeable components, plus the latest high-productivity modes and industrial automation.
MATERIALS AND POWDERS
Select material according to part function
Powder is selected by mechanics, temperature, chemical resistance, stiffness, flexibility, colour, finish and permitted reuse rate.
PA 12
HP 3D HR PA 12
Balanced strength, density, chemical resistance and economics. For housings, brackets, tools, fixtures, spare and serial parts.
PA 11
HP 3D HR PA 11
Greater ductility, elongation and impact resistance. For snap fits, living hinges, orthoses, sports equipment and functional parts.
PA 12 GB
Glass-bead-filled PA 12
Approximately 40% glass-bead filling for greater stiffness and dimensional stability. Housings, fixtures, tools and stable technical components.
PA 12 W / S
White and enhanced PA 12
For white or subsequently coloured products, good surface quality, aesthetic components and lower part cost in suitable systems.
PP
HP 3D HR PP by BASF
Low weight, chemical resistance and behaviour familiar from injection-moulded PP applications.
