MJF technology provides repeatability and dimensional stability. The method allows us to print functional, geometrically complex parts, with a layer thickness of 0.003 inches (or 0.08 mm).
MJF is ideal for designs with complex geometries, including parts with internal cavities. This cost-effective method of 3D printing is perfect for quantities greater than 30 pieces.
Our industry leading in-house HP Multi Jet Fusion 3d printing service operates from our dedicated production facility providing batch production and prototyping. We chose the HP MJF machine over the more common SLS 3d technology as it was designed from the ground up for the huge growth in 3d print manufacturing offering both speed and efficiency for industrial scale additive manufacturing.
With these machines, we are able to provide the fastest turnaround, lowest possible unit price and a more accurate and robust part than SLS alternatives. Whether you require a one-off prototype or large batches of end use parts, our manufacturing facility can provide strong, accurate and durable parts, primarily using Nylon PA12.
Due to their affordability, speed, and high resolution, multi jet fusion technology can be used for end-use, low-volume production, rapid prototyping, or as a bridge process to injection molding. MJF allows engineers to get a feel for how parts will perform with minimal upfront costs.Upload your 3D CAD file to get instant pricing with lead time options. If needed, you can easily select a different process or material to get an updated quote in real-time.
X/Y Direction = +/-.012” or +/- .003 in/in, whichever is greater; Z Direction = +/- .020” or +/- .005 in/in, whichever is greater.
The standard natural color is heather gray. Parts can be readily dyed a uniform black color.
HP MJF manufacturing builds parts using thermoplastic materials: Nylon PA11, Nylon PA12, Glass Filled Nylon, PP and TPU. The most popular material is Nylon PA12, which is available in white and gray. This thermoplastic produces high-density, complex parts that have excellent chemical resistance and dimensional accuracy. When printing white or gray PA12 parts, you’ll receive consistency, uniformity, and repeatability from your first part to your last. White PA12 is ideal for parts used in the medical and consumer goods industries and also those that require vibrant colors post-processing. All materials are sustainable as the process refreshes the powder with recycled powder to reduce production costs while keeping part properties.
| Standard | A bead blast removes all powder and leaves a consistent overall texture. Parts are then dyed a standard black color. |
| Vapor Smoothing | Significant reduction of surface roughness from 250+ μin RA (as-printed) to 64 – 100 μin RA after smoothing. Available for PA12 Black. |
| Custom | Secondary options include a primer that can be applied as well as taps and inserts. |
Multi Jet Fusion is an industrial 3D printing process that produces functional nylon prototypes and end-use production parts within 1 day. The final part has a high-quality surface finish, excellent feature resolution, and more consistent mechanical properties than processes such as selective laser sintering. The process simplifies workflow and reduces costs, enables rapid prototyping, realizes component manufacturing with breakthrough economics, lowers the threshold for use, and supports an open material and software innovation platform for new applications in various industries. The process simplifies workflow and reduces costs, enables rapid prototyping, enables component manufacturing with breakthrough economics, lowers barriers to use, and supports new applications in various industries.
Multi Jet Fusion uses an inkjet array to selectively apply fixer and refiner on a bed of nylon powder, which is then melted into a solid layer by a heating element.
After each layer, the powder is dispensed onto the top of the bed, and the process is repeated until the part is complete. Once built, the entire powder bed with encapsulated components is moved to a processing station where most of the loose powder is removed by an integrated vacuum.
The parts are then sandblasted to remove any remaining residual powder before eventually reaching the finishing department where they are dyed black to improve their appearance.
Layer of powdered material is applied to build platform.
Detail and binding agents are applied. Energy is used to fuse layers of powdered material.
Platform is lowered and next layer of powder is applied. Process is repeated.
Unused powder is removed. Finish part is revealed.
The HP Multi Jet Fusion polyamide 3D printing process is perfect for applications that require strength and durability, but higher volumes. Here are some of the common applications we see.
If isotropic mechanical properties aren’t a major priority for your parts, Selecting Laser Sintering (SLS) is a viable alternative.
If you want parts that can be dyed or painted in a wider variety of colors, SLS or PolyJet may be better choices.
If you want to choose from a wider variety of materials, SLS or FDM may be worth a look.
