Jet Fusion 4200

The 4200 is the first HP printer designed for small and medium series part production for industry professionals. This printer can produce functional finished parts and allows for greater complexity of part construction. Designed to produce quality parts while optimizing productivity and cost, the 4200 prints up to 200 parts per week, with print times between 11.5 hours and 16.5 hours.


Jet Fusion 5200 Series

This series is HP’s most advanced plastics 3D printing solution. These systems are designed for mid-volume production environments and provide the ability to optimize production costs with features like predictable and consistent print times. The 5200 series can also produce fine details, varying textures, and sharp edges with industrial-grade output standards. These systems print 200-550 parts per week, with print times between 9.5 hours and 11.5 hours. Expand and scale into mid-volume production today.


HP 3D as a Service (HP 3DaaS)

Gain new levels of cost predictability with the flexibility to scale your business as you grow. A “pay-as-you-go” business model provides many advantages. Capital expenses are transformed into operating expenses, spread over time. Paying on a usage basis puts the focus on your business results rather than equipment or transactions.

Manufacturers can leverage affordable, high-quality binder jetting technology to batch produce fully dense, high-resolution, end-use metal parts. Even with its unparalleled speed (10x faster, print a build per shift), the Shop System still delivers quality, solid parts, no debind or infill required. Achieve surface finishes as low as 4µm Ra out of the furnace, and <0.1µm Ra with mass finishing.


Studio System™ 2

Easy, two-step processing. Step 1: Print. Step 2: Sinter.

Making complex, high-performance, custom metal parts has never been easier. Featuring a breakthrough two-step process, next-generation Separable Supports, and a software-controlled workflow, the Studio System 2 is designed to fit an office environment. High resolution, office-friendly, metal 3D printing. In-house and built to scale. Offering an end-to-end solution that delivers a seamless workflow for printing complex, high density, reliable performance metal parts in-house—from digital file to sintered part. With a simplified, two-step process that eliminates the need for solvent debinders, has no hazardous metal powders or lasers, required no dedicated operators, and no special facilities needs.


Fiber™

Fiber™ combines the exceptional performance of continuous fiber with the ease of fused filament fabrication (FFF) printing to produce high-performance parts that are stronger than steel, lighter than aluminum, and can operate continuously in the toughest environments up to 250 ºC. Fiber™ prints with two printheads—one dedicated to continuous fiber tape; one dedicated to chopped fiber-reinforced filament. Continuous fiber reinforcement, low porosity, and multi-directional reinforcement. Fiber™ prints exceptional part quality and a wide range of engineering-grade materials — all on a user-friendly, desktop printer. With a wide range of materials, easy-to-use platform, Fiber™ offers high-quality composite printing at an affordable price point.

Breakthrough Single Pass Jetting™ technology delivers speeds up to 12,000cm3/hr—more than 100x faster than quad-laser metal printers and over 4x faster than the closest binder jetting alternative. Zero tooling required. In addition, low-cost MIM powder, high throughput, and
simple post-processing deliver per-part costs that are competitive with traditional
manufacturing processes.


Materials

Desktop Metals offers machines that use thermoplastics, PEEK and PEKK in additional to machines that print using a variety of metals.

  • PEEK + Carbon Fiber

    PEEK is characterized by exceptional mechanical properties, high resistance to surface abrasion, and is inherently flame retardant. When combined with continuous carbon fiber, the resulting composite is strong, stiff, and boasts a high fatigue level—making it great for high-wear manufacturing jigs and fixtures.

  • PEKK + Carbon Fiber

    PEKK is characterized by its high tensile and compression strength, resistance to chemical abrasion, and ability to withstand high temperatures (above 250 °C). When reinforced with carbon fiber, resulting parts are exceptionally durable and well-suited for extreme environments including high-temperature applications.

  • Ti64

    An alloy of titanium, aluminum and vanadium, the material properties of Ti64 – particularly its high strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance – make it an ideal material for a wide variety of high-performance applications.

  • Stainless Steels 17-4 & 316L

    17-4 PH is a precipitation hardening steel used in a range of industrial applications including those with mildly corrosive environments and high-strength requirements. With corrosion resistance and performance at both high and low temperatures, 316L is a fully austenitic stainless-steel ideal for harsh environments.

  • H13 Tool Steel & 4140 Steel

    H13 is an abrasion resistant, hot work tool steel with exceptional hot hardness, resistance to thermal fatigue cracking, and stability in heat treatment—an ideal metal for both hot work and cold work tooling applications. One of the most versatile steels, 4140 boasts toughness, high fatigue strength, and abrasion and impact resistance—a great all-purpose steel for industrial applications.

  • Copper & Coming Soon, Alloy 625

    Because of its electrical and thermal conductivity and ductility, Copper is ideal for electrical equipment, plumbing, and heat transfer. Alloy 625 is a nickel-based superalloy noted for its hardness and abrasion resistance as well as its performance at high temperatures. It’s suitable for the most extreme environments. 

  • Nylon 6 (PA6) + Carbon Fiber

    This Nylon 6 (PA6) with carbon fiber reinforcement is safe for operations where ESD compliance is required. With a tensile strength 30x stronger than ABS, PA6 + CF is excellent for jigs, fixtures, and end-of-arm tooling, including those used in electronics manufacturing.

  • Nylon 6 (PA6) + Fiberglass

    Fiberglass-reinforced nylon is a low-cost material which renders lightweight, high-strength and corrosion-resistant parts—a great match for sporting goods or marine applications, where parts are exposed to the elements and have a low target cost per part.

  • Production System™ Materials

    Your material. Printed at scale. Featuring an open materials platform, the Production System makes metal 3D printing a viable option for applications in all industries and environments.
