Reimagining Digital
Workflows With New HP
Universal Build Manager Powered by
Dyndrite HP’s new
Universal Build Manager is a
first of its kind solution which leverages proprietary HP software
and data innovation, and the Dyndrite™ Accelerated Geometry Engine.
The new additive manufacturing build manager takes advantage of the
GPU-accelerated processing and Python scriptability inherent to
Dyndrite’s engine. This combination enables customers to simplify
and automate build preparation across their additive manufacturing
technologies at supercharged speeds.
HP is committed to supporting multi-platform additive workflows
across machine fleets, including HP Multi Jet Fusion, Binder
Jetting (BJT), Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF), Selective Laser
Melting (SLM), Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS), Selective Heat
Sintering (SHS), Electron Beam Melting (EBM), Selective Laser
Sintering (SLS), Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), High Speed
Extrusion (HSE), Stereolithography (SLA), Digital Light Projector
(DLP), Laminated Object Manufacturing (LOM) and Composite-based
Additive Manufacturing (CBAM).
The new solution has been designed to improve the additive
technician’s efficiency, productivity, and quality, enabling
mass-personalization, complex workflow automation, and scalability
and extensibility in both manually driven and automated
workflows.
“We are addressing software challenges in the additive industry
that have prevented it from becoming mainstream and are providing
capabilities to help customers accelerate the journey to digital
manufacturing,” said Ryan Palmer, Global
Head of Software, Data and Automation, HP Personalization &
Industrial Business. “The new HP Universal Build Manager
simplifies, automates, and delivers a digital-first approach to
manufacturing. This solution will enable customers to explore new
areas of complexity and value, push the boundaries of sustainable
production, and automate critical steps in their digital
workflow.”
Cobra Aero and Cobra Moto, a
family of companies specializing in the design and manufacturing of
propulsion systems for racing, fire fighting, aerospace, and
surface and underwater vehicles, are deploying the new HP Universal
Build Manager solution to simplify and automate workflows across HP
Jet Fusion and Renishaw additive manufacturing
systems.
“We are committed to producing the highest quality, most precise
engine technology across all our businesses,” said Sean
Hilbert,
President,
Cobra. “The demands on our teams are intense and
highly complex. Our ability to deliver safe, top notch products
relies on optimizing our systems for both productivity and
reliability. We believe the new HP Universal Build Manager Powered
by Dyndrite will meet our needs, help us push limits and set the
standard across our entire additive manufacturing processes.”
HP and
Aconity3D, Aon3D, Aurora
Labs, EOS, Essentium,
ExOne, Open Additive, Photocentric, Plural
AM, Renishaw, and SLM Solutions have
committed to exploring ways for the HP Universal Build Manager to
support their 3D print systems. Additionally, the open-architecture
platform is designed to support interoperability with complementary
solutions from leading independent software vendors (ISVs)
including Ansys.
The new HP Universal Build Manager Powered by Dyndrite
includes:
- Universal support for the most widely adopted additive
processes
- Support for industry standard CAD and vendor-neutral formats
enabling CAD-to-print workflows for all major MCAD
applications
- High-performance GPU-accelerated geometry engine helping
accelerate computational tasks such as support generation, slicing
and tool pathing
- Highly scalable architecture designed to support high-part
density builds to optimize throughput and minimize cost
- Powerful Python-based automation engine to capture expert
knowledge, process definitions and the ability to streamline
workflows and automate repetitive tasks in support of lights-out
digital factory solutions
- Extensible plug-in framework making the versatility and power
of the HP Universal Build Manager platform accessible to every
user, machine manufacturer, and software vendor, facilitating the
creation of process specific solutions without having to share
potentially sensitive IP

Digital Factory Services for Industrial Management and
Quality at Scale
To assist in the design and implementation of digital factories
featuring HP’s Multi Jet Fusion technology, HP’s enhanced
3D Factory Services support the key processes
necessary for successful industrial management and production of
high-quality parts at scale. The services include offerings across
facilities and equipment assessment, human capital planning and
training, and design and implementation of production processes.
Among the advanced digital services are HP 3D Application
Programming Interface (API), HP 3D Process Control, and HP 3D
Center.
HP is exposing the open HP 3D API to the industry’s premier
software companies providing their customers who use HP’s 3D
printing solutions with a robust, automated API for integrating
data and streamlining workflows. Autonomous Manufacturing (AMFG),
an industry leader in MES and workflow software, is enabling
customers like Henkel to integrate the HP 3D API to help centralize
end-to-end-workflows, provide real-time status of their HP Jet
Fusion systems and receive critical alerts and information for more
efficient processes and less downtime.
“Henkel aims to provide innovative solutions for Additive
Manufacturing that are accelerated by reliable partners such as HP
and AMFG,” said Chris
Liddiard, Market Segment Head for
Automotive and Industrial Parts, Adhesive Technologies Group,
Henkel Corporation. “With the help of AMFG to connect to
our global infrastructure of Application Centers using HP Jet
Fusion printers, we are aiding in centralizing the end-to-end
workflows, from initial request to final part production. Armed
with this important data, Henkel can better understand and
interpret data patterns related to machine utilization, failure
rate, geometrical specifications and processing parameters,
allowing us to provide better manufacturing services for our
clients.”
New features in HP 3D Process Center and HP 3D Center will
enable manufacturing-critical quality management capabilities for
improved performance and repeatability, and greater predictability.
Customers taking advantage of these offerings will be able to tune
their HP 3D printing systems for high-repeatability of specific
applications, implement industrial-level process and quality
controls at scale, and improve sustainability with tracing of raw
material and quality of recycled material.
Furthering End-to-End Automation
