Today at the HP Innovation Summit in Barcelona, Spain, HP announced
expanded installations of its HP Jet Fusion 3D printing solutions
with digital manufacturing innovators Protolabs, Materialise, and
ZiggZagg. As a leader in helping the world take advantage of
digital technologies in the 4th Industrial Revolution, HP also
showcased its collaboration with the International Additive
Manufacturing (IAM) 3D Hub and highlighted numerous applications of
3D printing in action, including new lighter-weight helmets for the
Pontifical Swiss Guard, custom merchandising for PepsiCo, airflow
manifolds for high-performance auto racing, industrial machinery
used in the construction of skyscrapers, and orthosis devices
improving the quality of life for patients, amongst others.
“The digital transformation of the $12 trillion manufacturing
industry is changing the game for the world’s designers, product
developers, manufacturing and supply chain professionals, creating
massive opportunity for the 3D printing ecosystem,” said Ramon
Pastor, general manager of Multi Jet Fusion, HP Inc. “In
collaboration with our customers, we are proud to reinvent the way
the world designs and manufacturers and to drive innovative new
applications made possible with HP Multi Jet Fusion. Whether it’s
helping the Swiss Guard protect the Vatican or reinventing what can
be done for an entire industry like orthopedics, the possibilities
are endless.” Innovative Leaders Look to the Digital Future
of Manufacturing with HP Multi Jet Fusion Technology
Protolabs (NYSE:PRLB), the
world’s fastest manufacturer of custom prototypes and on-demand
production parts with 11 manufacturing facilities across four
countries, is upgrading its seven HP Jet Fusion 3D printers in the
U.S. and Germany to industrial HP Jet Fusion 4210 3D systems to
meet the increasing demand for global 3D production services. “The
demand for 3D-printed production applications continues to grow and
HP’s Multi Jet Fusion technology is furthering our ability to
deliver our customers industrial-grade parts quickly and
cost-effectively,” said Vicki Holt, president and CEO, Protolabs.
“By expanding the capacity of our HP Multi Jet Fusion services and
installing printers in the United States and Europe, we are meeting
the needs of our global customer base and demonstrating that
geographically distributed, on-demand production is a reality
today.” Protolabs is using the speed, quality, and cost advantages
of Multi Jet Fusion technology to provide compelling custom
packaging applications for customers including
PepsiCo (NASDAQ:PEP) who recently 3D printed
Black Panther masks for its promotional beverage
kits. These benefits also translated to success for Stream
Lion Design, another Protolabs customer in the industrial
sector who found the production-grade capabilities of Multi Jet
Fusion ideal for solving a combustion turbine problem in the
utilities industry. A new HP 3D printed modal hammer has enabled
the company to survey engine turbines in the field and
double the speed of data collection.
Materialise (NASDAQ:MTLS), a leading provider
of Additive Manufacturing software and services for the medical and
industrial markets, has already deployed eight HP Jet Fusion 4200
3D printers. In an exciting development, Materialise and HP have
now entered into an exclusive agreement with RSPrint to scale an
end-to-end 3D solution to design and manufacture individualized
insoles. Through RSPrint, FitStation powered by HP, uses
Materialise’s 3D design and manufacturing software to translate
individual biomechanical data into personalized insoles. Insoles
can then be securely manufactured worldwide on Materialise’s HP Jet
Fusion 3D printers. ZiggZagg, a leading 3D
printing provider in Belgium, joins existing digital manufacturing
service providers such as Forecast 3D, Go Proto, Materialise,
Protolabs, and Stern with multi-unit deployments of HP’s Jet Fusion
3D printing solutions. The company has installed six HP Jet Fusion
4210 3D printers to produce parts for their customers across the
medical, consumer goods, automotive and industrial markets.
ZiggZagg used its HP Multi Jet Fusion technology to print
a single-piece engine manifold for a race car
participating in the Belcar Endurance Championship racing series in
Belgium and The Netherlands. The HP 3D printed part replaced two
pieces that were injection molded and had to be welded together.
Using the injection molded parts, the team often lost races when
the parts broke apart, destroying the entire manifold due to the
extreme pressure. The team optimized the HP 3D printed part by
using additive design advantages to simplify the structure and
improve air flow, resulting in a Top 5 finish in its most recent
race. Global 3D Center of Excellence Collaborates with HP
to Drive 4th Industrial Revolution IAM 3D Hub, which
brings together private companies, public entities, and R&D
organizations, has installed eight HP Jet Fusion 4200 3D printing
systems. IAM 3D Hub is also tapping HP’s industry leadership and
technology expertise to expand educational and training
opportunities, provide business mentoring, and grow the industry
ecosystem. The Hub was founded to help integrate and coordinate 3D
printing activities around the world and provides customers with an
alternative way to design, develop, and manufacture new competitive
products and services.
“IAM 3D Hub shares HP’s vision to accelerate the adoption and
development of 3D printing technologies for industrial production,
and provide expansive education and training opportunities to grow
the market,” said Aintzane Arbide, general secretary, IAM 3D Hub.
“HP’s leadership has already helped us move the needle across our
various programs specific to technology innovation. The advanced
capabilities of Multi Jet Fusion allow organizations to completely
rethink their approach to product engineering and design, complex
workflows, and advance the future of their manufacturing
processes.”
Breakthrough 3D Printing Applications Go Beyond the
ImaginationThe HP Multi Jet Fusion platform enables the
design and production of previously inconceivable applications. In
addition to the innovative applications from Protolabs,
Materialise, and ZiggZagg, as part of the HP Innovation Summit, HP
showcased a variety of additional 3D printing applications across
industries including:
- Custom designed helmets for the Pontifical Swiss
Guard, who have been responsible for providing security to
The Vatican, including protecting the Pope and the papal residence,
since 1506. These state-of-the-art trained Swiss security
professionals are clothed in the traditional renaissance uniform,
and have begun wearing much lighter weight helmets 3D printed with
HP Multi Jet Fusion.
- The ability to produce a 20 percent lighter bike
helmet using Multi Jet Fusion is a tremendous advantage
for Syncro Innovation, an industrial design firm
located in Quebec, Canada. Printed by Sculpteo, a
manufacturing service provider based in France, Syncro selected
Multi Jet Fusion services for their consistent quality and cost
effectiveness. Sculpteo recently added the HP Jet Fusion 4210 3D
printer to its existing portfolio of Jet Fusion 4200 3D printers to
support increased demand from customers including Syncro.
- daVINCI Painting Line Arm by FICEP Steel Surface
Systems (FICEP Ss), an industrial engineering company
specialized in Additive Manufacturing, Design, and R+D. FICEP S3 is
using MultiJet Fusion to reduce the weight and further optimize
over 40 percent of the daVINCI's final production parts allowing
for faster acceleration, deceleration and position control,
with geometries that could not be machined or molded. This new
machine is an evolution of the machines used in the structural
steel industry to protect the steel used in buildings like the
Freedom Tower in New York City or the
Shard in London.
- Ankle Foot Orthosis by Crispin Orthotics, a
UK-based specialist in modern orthotics. The capabilities of Multi
Jet Fusion have the potential to completely reinvent the orthotics
industry by enabling the creation of individualized, precise and
more cosmetic options for patients. In addition to these
advantages, Crispin’s dynamic ankle foot orthosis is printed on
Multi Jet Fusion for 50 percent less than a comparable carbon fibre
product.
- Industrial applications including a gripper
for robots and mounting fixtures produced by Stern
3D, a leading digital manufacturer in Germany with 10 HP
Jet Fusion 4200 3D systems. Known for conventional manufacturing
for medical and automotive customers, Stern will now be offering
customers the ability to quickly produce new parts with Multi Jet
Fusion.
