Today, at the 2022 International Manufacturing Technology Show
(IMTS), HP Inc. announced the commercial availability of its Metal
Jet S100 Solution. Accelerating innovative designs and products and
digitally printing mass quantities of quality parts, HP’s Metal Jet
S100 Solution is transforming industries and helping scale 3D
metals to mass production.
The manufacturing industry has evolved drastically over the past
decade and is currently expected to be worth around $12 trillion1.
We are in the early stages of a fourth industrial revolution,
spearheaded by the accelerated growth of 3D printing and its
ability to accelerate designs, improve process developments, and
now in an industry first, realize true economies of scale.
“We are witnessing entire industries, from industrial to
consumer, and healthcare to automotive, looking to digitally
transform their manufacturing processes and supply chains in a
world where volatility is the new normal,” said Didier Deltort,
President of HP’s Personalization and 3D Printing business. “As the
promise of additive manufacturing takes hold, HP has become a
trusted partner to help speed the path to production. The
introduction of our new Metal Jet commercial solution, along with
innovative collaboration with market leaders like Schneider
Electric, is delivering the blueprint for more sustainable,
reliable, and efficient manufacturing.”
New HP Metal Jet S100
HP’s new Metal Jet S100 Solution is opening the doors for a
digital reinvention of the global metals manufacturing sector, with
a strong focus on end-to-end supply chain solutions in both
software and hardware that are customer-centric and design led.
The Metal Jet S100 Solution provides industrial production
capabilities, integrated workflow, subscription and service
offerings – an unprecedented level of technical and business
advantages for customers, helping them achieve their goals for
business transformation. The modular solution enables build units
to travel between four different stations, meaning users can
continually run production at scale for mass metals production.
“Since announcing the breakthrough Metal Jet technology in 2018,
we have been working to develop the industry’s most advanced
commercial solution for 3D metals mass production,” said Ramon
Pastor, Global Head and General Manager of 3D Metals, HP Inc. “3D
printed metal parts are a key driving force behind digital
transformation and the new Metal Jet S100 Solution provides a world
class metals offering for our customers, from the first designs
right through to production, but more importantly helps them to
realize the unlimited potential for digital manufacturing.”
HP’s unequaled expertise and IP in Thermal Inkjet technology and
Latex chemistry delivers cost, quality, productivity, and
reliability advantages. HP’s Thermal Inkjet printhead dramatically
improves the printing speed, part quality, and repeatability. The
advanced latex chemistries developed by HP lend significant
benefits to the binder itself, enabling stronger green parts,
eliminating the need for de-binding, and yielding industrial
production-grade quality.
Key advantages of HP Metal Jet technology include:
- Innovative New Designs: New geometries,
density control and designs to lightweight or consolidate metal
parts push the boundaries of what is possible with 3D
printing.
- Improved Customer Economics: Process steps
needed to create parts are shortened whilst costs due to manual
labor or complexity requirements are reduced, driving efficiencies
across the supply chain.
- Increased Productivity: Binder jetting can
boost productivity tenfold, allowing for processing layer by layer
versus point process. Isotropic properties also require no
post-processing and no support removal, and the use of metal
powders is also more cost-effective than laser-based 3D printing
powder.
- Higher Resolution to Drive Part Quality: HP
printheads leverage decades of industrial thermal inkjet technology
developments, defining geometry and delivering high resolution and
system robustness, making mass 3D metal parts a viable option for
commercial manufacturing.
Innovative Collaboration, Breakthrough
Applications
Advancements and new production applications highlight the
advantages of Metal Jet, including better productivity, low part
cost, and outstanding quality.
HP has already built strong momentum with leading partners and
customers including GKN,
Parmatech, Cobra Golf,
Legor Group, and Volkswagen, and
more. HP is also collaborating on mass metals production
opportunities with new partners and customers around the world,
including Domin Digital Motion, an innovative
industrial company focused on hydraulic systems and valves,
Lumenium, a startup developer of advanced
rotational engines, and Schneider Electric.
Schneider Electric is the global leader in the
digital transformation of energy management and automation. Their
product portfolio includes products, controls, software and
services across residential, commercial, industrial and critical
applications. “We are excited about the new
possibilities for our business as a result of this collaboration
with HP,” said Michael Lotfy, SVP of Power Products & Systems,
North America, Schneider Electric. “We are constantly in pursuit of
solutions that will enable more sustainable, agile innovations
development. Leveraging HP Metal Jet our teams have delivered a
proven use case showcasing the benefits of digital manufacturing
and 3D printing, and we look forward to uncovering many more
applications that meet the evolving demands from our customers
addressing the challenges around sustainability and Electricity
4.0.”
Together with GKN, a new filter used on Schneider Electric’s NSX
breaker was produced using HP Metal Jet technology, which could not
be achieved with conventional industrial manufacturing capabilities
due to the shape & material complexity. HP Metal Jet technology
not only facilitated the design of new power filters shapes that
reduce gas, pressure, and heat impact in a more limited space, it
also resulted in significant productivity gains and environmental
benefits.
HP Showcasing 3D Metals Mass Production at
IMTS
Michael Lotfy will join Ramon Pastor, and Meaghan Ferris, HP’s
Global Head of 3D Metals Go-to-Market, on September 15 at 8:15 am
U.S. Central Time for a keynote address at the Additive
Manufacturing Conference at IMTS. HP and its partners and customers
will showcase their journey driving 3D printing metals technology
into mass production. See the new HP Metal Jet S100 Solution and a
wide variety of production applications at the HP booth at
IMTS #433000.
