Complex components
Geometries that are difficult to machine or assemble from several separate components.
HP METAL JET
HP Metal Jet S100 — scalable metal additive manufacturing
A binder-jet platform for complex geometries, personalised products and economical production of qualified metal components.
METAL ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING
From a digital model to a sintered metal part
HP Metal Jet precisely deposits binder onto layers of metal powder. Printing is followed by controlled curing, depowdering and sintering, which gives the component its final properties. The business case is assessed through material, geometry, parts per build, tolerances and post-processing requirements.
THE S100 PLATFORM
Production is planned as a complete process chain
Binder-jet productivity
Metal powder and printhead productivity support scalable manufacturing where geometry and volume fit the process.
Materials
Qualified stainless-steel options include 316L and 17-4PH, subject to the selected process and current HP qualification.
Post-processing
Curing, depowdering, sintering and any secondary finishing steps are part of the production plan.
Application economics
Part consolidation, build density, volume and reduced tooling can change the total production cost.
TYPICAL OPPORTUNITIES
Where Metal Jet can create value
Personalised products
Variants, identifiers and customer-specific geometries without a separate tool for every version.
Series production
Qualified metal parts where build density, process chain and volume justify additive manufacturing.
APPLICATION ASSESSMENT
Validate material, geometry and economics before system selection
The assessment covers the 3D model, alloy, annual quantity, tolerances, surface finish, sintering plan and any machining or heat treatment required after printing.
