HP to Showcase Breakthrough Advancements in 3D Printing at Rapid + TCT 2024


Enhancements to HP's Polymer 3D Printing platform
As part of a commitment to meet the evolving needs of polymers customers, HP is announcing significant enhancements to its Polymer 3D Printing platform, including materials, features, and capabilities for the HP Jet Fusion 5600 Series 3D Printing Solution, designed to address common pain points across the manufacturing process.
Enabling a full material portfolio for the HP Jet Fusion 5600 Series 3D Printing Solution remains a top priority for HP. Both the HP 3D HR PA12 S, enabled by Arkema and BASF Ultrasint® TPU01 materials will now be available. Since the introduction of the HP 3D HR PA12 S material, enabled by Arkema, in March at the annual AMUG (Additive Manufacturing User Group) Conference, HP has experienced momentum with customers benefiting from reductions in total cost of ownership (TCO) and improved surface finish. For BASF Ultrasint® TPU01 users, HP is delivering up to a 20% reduction in TCO through the enablement of higher refresh rates of up to 90/10 material usage and reduced service pricing of the HP Jet Fusion 5600 Series 3D Printing Solution.
Demand for bright color part applications with minimal additional post-processing cost remains high among HP polymers customers. To fulfill this need, HP is enabling HP 3D HR PA12 W in the HP Jet Fusion 5600 Series 3D Printing Solution, designed to enhance color versatility, manufacturing equipment flexibility and reduce post-processing costs with UV resistance relative to PA12. This is ideal for part providers and OEMs in industrial, orthotics and prosthetics, and consumer goods sectors who want to dye parts in bright colors. With more material options available on the HP Jet Fusion 5600 Series 3D Printing Solution platform, customers can further expand their production capabilities and bring new, innovative applications to life.
To overcome challenges associated with Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) in advanced industrial applications, a new ESD print mode will now be available for the HP Jet Fusion 5600 Series 3D Printing Solution at no additional cost. This feature will allow service bureaus, assembly lines, electronics manufacturers, and others to achieve dissipative properties on parts printed with HP Mult Jet Fusion technology. This is enabled thanks to HP Multi Jet Fusion's voxel-control agent capabilities, meaning that customers will not need additional HW to receive these benefits.
HP continues to prioritize maintaining a low TCO for its Multi Jet Fusion technology with improvements to both the HP Jet Fusion 5600 and 5000 Series 3D Printing Solutions. In order to address acquisition costs for customers interested in adoption, the HP Jet Fusion 5000 3D Printer specifically will now support an increased variety of materials, including HP 3D HR PA11, HP 3D HR PA12 S, enabled by Arkema, HP 3D HR PA12 GB, HP 3D HR PP enabled by BASF with a manual workflow, and BASF Ultrasint® TPU01 and Estane® 3D TPU M88A with a processing station, further enhancing its versatility and cost-efficiency. With a lower point of entry for the HP Jet Fusion 5000 3D Printer, customers can more easily adopt HP's technology and upgrade to a more productive printer like the HP Jet Fusion 5600 3D Printer once applications scale. On the HP Jet Fusion 5600 Series 3D Printing Solution HP continues to reduce idle times between consecutive prints, and now customers with the HP Jet Fusion Automation Accessory will benefit from improved fast swap capabilities, further contributing to cost savings, especially in high-volume production environments.
