HP has presented its new professional 3D printing solutions Jet Fusion and the complete modular solution Metal Jet, its new post-processing capabilities, the expansion of the Digital Manufacturing Network (DMN), the new materials and recycling program, and a variety of industrial production applications. Their new HP Jet Fusion 5420W solution includes blank applications.
HP Metal Jet S100 Solution with a new John Deere Production App
"Additive manufacturing responds to the most urgent demands in today's market, such as sustainable innovation, hyper-personalization and business resilience," he says. Didier Deltort, President of Personalization and 3D Printing at HP. "Together, with our global network of partners and customers, we are scaling additive manufacturing to meet these needs."
New Metal Jet S100 production application
HP's Metal Jet S100 solution is enabling industrial customers such as Domin Digital Motion, Lumenium, and Schneider Electric to achieve higher productivity, lower parts cost, and exceptional quality. John Deere, a world leader in the manufacture of agricultural and construction equipment, is using Metal Jet technology for the production of a valve in the fuel system of tractors.
Together with GKNJohn Deere is now manufacturing Metal Jet printed valves for their farm equipment. In addition to significant gains in terms of productivity and environmental benefits, the high-quality part is functional in extreme weather conditions. John Deere is also leveraging HP's Multi Jet Fusion technology to streamline its production process, using 3D-printed prototypes to test and fine-tune components and parts like windshield mounts, reducing pre-assembly from 30 days to ten, lead times delivery in up to ten weeks and overall production costs by 20 to 25 percent.
HP introduces the new Jet Fusion 5400 series
To enable entirely new production applications, HP is adding the new HP JetFusion 5400 series to its existing Jet Fusion portfolio, and has introduced the first product in the series, the solutionHP Jet Fusion 5420W. The new solution enables consistent, high-quality production of white parts, and provides the advantages of HP's robust, manufacturing-ready Multi Jet Fusion platform, including industrial-grade reliability, low cost per part, and improved manufacturing predictability. Ideal for the automotive, consumer goods, healthcare and industrial markets, early customers using the new solution to produce innovative white applications include DI Labs, Prototal Industries and Weerg.
3D printing
3D printing is increasingly recognized as a conduit for more sustainable manufacturing. The recent report of AM Power “Sustainability of metal additive manufacturing” confirmed that the binder injection process is one of the most sustainable production methods compared to traditional manufacturing. As an active member of the Additive Manufacturing Green Trade Association (AMGTA), HP is committed to accelerating sustainable manufacturing practices internally and within its ecosystem of partners and customers.
