HP 3D Printing Drives Distributed Design, Manufacturing and Supply Chain Transformation With Jabil and Forecast 3D
April 24 2018 - 9:00AM
News
highlights:
Today at RAPID + TCT, North America’s largest 3D printing
conference, HP announced new agreements with industry leaders Jabil
and Forecast 3D to drive the future of distributed design,
manufacturing and digital supply chains leveraging the power of HP
Multi Jet Fusion 3D Printing technology. As the global
economy enters what many call the 4th Industrial Revolution, new
technologies such as 3D printing are enabling an array of new
business opportunities such as distributed design and
manufacturing, supply chain services, and increasingly localized
production. “From multinational design engineering and
manufacturing, to localized production, industry leaders such as
Jabil and Forecast 3D are demonstrating 3D printing’s expanding
role in the digital transformation of the $12 trillion global
manufacturing economy,” said Stephen Nigro, President of 3D
Printing, HP Inc. “HP Multi Jet Fusion customers and partners
represent critical links in a new value chain that’s rewriting the
rules of design, production, and delivery, ultimately ushering in a
new era of digital manufacturing.”

Trailblazers Continue to Embrace HP’s Multi Jet Fusion 3D Printing
Solutions Jabil is one of the largest product solutions
companies in the world, with more than 100 facilities in 29
countries. Jabil is complementing its U.S.-based HP Multi Jet
Fusion installation with six additional production-ready HP Jet
Fusion 4210 3D printers in Singapore, bringing its total to a dozen
HP 3D printers. The network of 3D printers underpins the new
Jabil Additive Manufacturing Network, enabling design and
manufacturing teams to collaborate across multiple geographies,
manage incoming orders, allocate jobs across resources, and produce
end-products in the locations best suited for their supply chain
and distribution needs. Currently, Jabil is using its network
to unite product designers in Silicon Valley with Singapore-based
manufacturing teams to accelerate the distributed manufacturing of
products developed using HP Multi Jet Fusion technology, among them
parts for HP’s own 3D printers. More than 140 parts for HP’s Jet
Fusion 300/500 full-color 3D printers are being produced by Jabil
in what is believed to be the most 3D printed parts for any
commercial product in the world. “HP Multi Jet Fusion gives us the
foundational 3D printing platform we need to deliver truly
industrial-grade, production applications for our globally
distributed customers,” said John Dulchinos, vice president of
digital manufacturing, Jabil. “Our aim is to harmonize the
multiple regions, technologies, materials, and manufacturing
workflows of the 4th Industrial Revolution and HP is an important
partner in that effort.”
Forecast 3D, one of the oldest and largest privately-held 3D
manufacturers in the United States, is adding six new HP Jet Fusion
4210 solutions to expand its fleet to 18 systems in response to
increasing customer demand. Forecast 3D plans to produce
several million end-use parts on HP’s 3D printers in the coming
year, delivering commercial-grade applications for clients in
multiple industries including the medical, consumer goods,
aerospace, defense, and auto sectors.
“Our customers across all industries have spoken – and they are
looking for more of the speed, quality, and cost benefits for
production applications unleashed by HP Multi Jet Fusion,” said
Corey Weber, CEO of Forecast 3D. “We are investing in this
important 3D printing technology platform as we scale up to meet
rising demand from international and domestic clients seeking to
reinvent their product lifecycle.” Unleashing a New Era of
Design Possibilities in Full ColorHP is committed to
democratizing 3D design and manufacturing and recently expanded its
portfolio with the introduction of the Jet Fusion 300 / 500 series,
the world’s first 3D printers to deliver engineering-grade,
functional parts in full color, black or white in a fraction of the
time1 of other solutions. HP is providing Multi Jet Fusion
users the ability to prototype and produce new designs on the same
platform and stay ahead with a future-ready technology for voxel
control for color and beyond, enabling the design and production of
previously unconceivable applications. For more information visit

HP at RAPID + TCT Attendees at RAPID + TCT can
learn more about the entire HP Jet Fusion portfolio, including the
new full-color HP Jet Fusion 300/500 series at HP’s booth
1330. Stephen Nigro, President of 3D Printing at HP Inc,.
will also speak in the General Session on Thursday April 26 at 8.30
am. About HP HP Inc. creates technology that makes
life better for everyone, everywhere. Through our portfolio of
printers, PCs, mobile devices, solutions and services, we engineer
experiences that amaze. More information about HP Inc. is available

1 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.
