Additive manufacturing technologies like MJF 3D printing stand out as a powerful solution for various manufacturing applications. Developed by HP Additive, Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) is a 3D printing technology that employs a powder bed fusion system similar to Selective Laser Sintering (SLS). While it also utilizes powdered nylon material, MJF is notably faster and more cost-effective for low-volume runs, offering the ability to produce parts in full color or black.

Why choose MJF?

MJF 3D printing offers distinct advantages over traditional manufacturing processes. For starters, it operates at a speed that’s ten times faster without compromising on quality or precision. Here’s a deeper dive into how MJF could be a game-changer for your project:

Scalability of production

MJF 3D printing allows for the creation of single or multiple components. Whether you need one part or several hundred for low-volume production, a reputable 3D printing service can accommodate your requirements.

Mastery of complex geometries

Multi Jet Fusion employs a fusing and detailing agent on a thin layer of powder, shaping it based on the cross-section of the component at a specific layer height. A heat source then fuses the powder to construct the part. With layer thicknesses often set at 80 microns, this process allows for the production of intricately designed components. Thus, MJF 3D printing enables designers and engineers to bring even the most complex designs to life without incurring additional costs.

Quick turnaround times

When partnering with a reputable service provider, you can expect your 3D-printed parts to be ready within three to four days. This rapid output accelerates time-to-market and allows for quick design iterations.

End-use component creation

MJF is capable of manufacturing end-use parts with nearly isotropic properties on demand. This proves particularly useful in industries such as consumer products, medical, and aerospace, where rapid production of functional components is essential. MJF 3D printing can produce watertight enclosures for electronics, customized medical equipment, and automotive components.
