News
highlights:
Today HP Inc. expanded its 3D printing portfolio with the
introduction of its new Jet Fusion 300 / 500 series of 3D printers,
the industry’s first 3D printing technology to enable manufacturers
to produce engineering-grade, functional parts in full color, black
or white – with voxel control – in a fraction of the time of other
solutions. Depending on configuration and color preference,
the Jet Fusion 300 / 500 series is available starting in the
$50,000s, enabling small- to medium-sized product development teams
and design businesses, entrepreneurs, and universities and research
institutions to access HP’s industry leading Multi Jet Fusion
printing technology.
The new Jet Fusion 300 / 500 series complements HP's existing
industrial-grade Jet Fusion 3200 / 4200 / 4210 3D solutions which
deliver the lowest cost per part2 and are designed for
manufacturing environments. With this portfolio expansion, HP is
providing users of its Multi Jet Fusion solutions the ability to
prototype and produce new designs and applications on the same
platform and stay ahead with a future-ready technology for voxel
control beyond color.
“HP is committed to democratizing 3D design and manufacturing,
unleashing new possibilities for millions of innovators around the
world,” said Stephen Nigro, President of 3D Printing, HP Inc. “No
matter your industry, no matter your design complexity, no matter
what colors fit your business needs – black, white, or the full
color spectrum – the new HP Jet Fusion 300 / 500 series gives you
the freedom to create brilliant new parts liberated from the
constraints of traditional production methods.”
HP’s unique ability to control part properties at the individual
voxel level enables the design and production of previously
unconceivable parts and is now available, for the first time, in
full color. Whether in healthcare, automotive, consumer
goods, or other industries; or for entrepreneurs, designers, or
university researchers with the next great idea; the potential of
new 3D printing applications is enormous. HP is already engaging in
the co-development of new color applications with universities and
businesses around the world including Phoenix Children’s Hospital,
Yazaki Corp., and Youngstown State University, amongst others.
“At Phoenix Children’s Hospital, we strive to create
personalized experiences benefitting the long-term well-being of
our patients,” said Dr. Justin Ryan, Cardiac 3D Print Lab, Phoenix
Children’s Hospital. “From visually-appealing casts and corrective
devices, to custom surgical guides, to interactive and personalized
anatomical models, we see tremendous value in the design
possibilities and highly-accurate and durable parts from HP’s new
3D printers.”
Innovation for Small- to Medium-Sized Development Teams,
Businesses and Educators
In addition to providing voxel-level control, the new Jet Fusion
300 / 500 series of 3D printers has a compact design, enhanced
workflow solution, and the world’s first integrated and automated
materials delivery system, enabling greater unattended operation,
ease of use, and dramatically increasing production efficiency and
output. The Jet Fusion 300 / 500 series also supports the three
leading color file formats (OBJ, VRML, and 3MF) enabling designers
to reliably and easily produce the parts they want without the
inconvenience of file conversion or data corruption.
The HP Jet Fusion 300 / 500 series offerings include:
- HP Jet Fusion 340 (Black and White) / 380
(Color): for customers who have smaller part-size needs or
who commonly print fewer parts per build.
- HP Jet Fusion 540 (Black and White) / 580
(Color): with a bigger build size than the 300 series for
customers who have larger part-size needs or heavier production
demands.
“I'm excited about the range of applications for functional
multi-color 3D printing,” said Terry Wohlers, President, Wohlers
Associates Inc. “It's good to see that HP is targeting
this interesting and largely untapped opportunity. The
possibilities are infinite.”
Building on HP’s Open Approach to Materials
Development
The HP Jet Fusion 300 / 500 3D printers will launch with a new
material, HP 3D High Reusability CB PA 12. Parts using this
material will have mechanical properties similar to the HP 3D High
Reusability PA 12 material from HP’s industrial solutions.
Leveraging HP’s unique Open Platform for materials and
applications development, HP will work with its growing materials
ecosystem to grow the material breadth and drive costs down. The
Jet Fusion 300 / 500 series will ultimately support similar
materials as the Jet Fusion 3200/4200/4210, and also support unique
materials that enable color or other voxel-level capabilities.
The HP Jet Fusion 300 / 500 series of 3D printers is available
for order today and will begin shipping in the second half of 2018.

Partner Program Delivers Broader Capabilities and
Targets New Resellers
As HP expands its product portfolio with the Jet Fusion 300 /
500 series, today it also highlighted the evolution of its global
3D printing reseller program – the HP Partner First 3D Printing
Specialization program – including a variety of new options
provided to partners selling HP’s Jet Fusion 3D printing solutions.
As HP continues to increase its market reach and builds out
its global go-to-market structure, it is now enabling solutions
providers with specific manufacturing industry expertise, global
digital transformation, and IT solutions expertise to deliver Multi
Jet Fusion technology for customers around the world.
HP today also unveiled a new collaboration with Dassault
Systèmes, a leading provider of 3D design software with millions of
users in more than 140 countries, to empower a new era of product
design innovation by entrepreneurs, makers, students, and
businesses. The two companies intend to optimize Dassault Systèmes’
industry-leading SOLIDWORKS 3D design and engineering applications
to take advantage of the unique voxel-level capabilities of HP’s
Multi Jet Fusion 3D printing solutions.
Changing the Way the World Designs and
Manufactures
Attendees at the SOLIDWORKS World 3D design conference have the
opportunity to experience the industry’s most comprehensive
end-to-end solutions for every phase of the product design process
at HP’s booth #301. In addition to the HP Jet
Fusion 300 / 500 series, HP announced new workstation, VR, and, 3D
Printing and Scanning products and services which are also on
display at the show.

- Based on internal and third-party testing for HP Jet Fusion 580
and 540 3D Printers, printing time is a fraction of the time of the
printing times of comparable plastic fused deposition modeling
(FDM), stereolithography (SLA), and material jetting solutions from
$20,000 USD to $120,000 USD on market as of June, 2017. Testing
variables for the HP Jet Fusion 580 3D Printer: Part quantity: 1
full build chamber of parts from HP Jet Fusion 3D at 10% of packing
density versus same number of parts on above-mentioned competitive
devices; Part size: 30 cm3; Layer thickness: .08 mm/0.003 inches.
Competitor testing variables are comparable.
- Based on internal testing and public data, HP Jet Fusion 3D
Printing Solution average printing cost-per-part is half the
average cost of comparable FDM & SLS printer solutions from
$100,000 USD to $300,000 USD on market as of April 2016. Cost
analysis based on: standard solution configuration price, supplies
price, and maintenance costs recommended by manufacturer. Cost
criteria: printing 1build chambers per day/ 5 days per week over 1
year of 30-gram parts at 10% packing density using HP 3D High
Reusability PA 12 material, and the powder reusability ratio
recommended by manufacturer.
