Lower user barriers to use, improve capital flexibility and business agility

As more and more customers choose to use3D printingFor mass production, HP provides them with more new options to improve their business agility and accelerate the transition to digital manufacturing, including:

• The new HP 3DaaS Basic Edition subscription service can automatically replenish HP 3D consumables for customers, simplify the steps for fee inquiry and usage, and provide reliable remote and on-site support services.This new paid service is available for HP Jet Fusion 5200, HP Jet Fusion 4200 and HP Jet Fusion 500 series3D printingsolution.
• The new HP 3DaaS upgrade version integrates hardware, consumables and services, and is suitable for customers who want to accelerate the product life cycle through optimized, high-speed internal prototyping and finished parts production. The 3DaaS upgrade subscription service will be first applied to the HP Jet Fusion 340 solution, and then HP will also introduce other 3DaaS subscription models.
• HP is working with new partners to expand HP’s digital manufacturing network, including Prototal in Europe and Solize in Japan. The HP Digital Manufacturing Network is a global community of digital manufacturing service providers with the ability to produce high-quality and high-volume Multi Jet Fusion and Metal Jet parts. Customers from all over the world can join this distributed network of plastic and metal component suppliers to quickly expand component production as needed anytime, anywhere.

The Industry 4.0 Alliance is getting stronger and stronger, helping innovation in applications, materials and post-processing

New collaborations in the ecosystem can help customers tap the full potential of digital manufacturing. To meet customer needs, HP expanded and upgraded its partner strategy, and today announced the addition of industrial partners, including:

• Siemens and Hewlett-Packard will jointly demonstrate a new series of parts and components that will be produced in cooperation with two industry-leading automotive manufacturing suppliers. With the help of the current additive manufacturing solution jointly created by HP and Siemens, EDAG, a professional company in the field of automotive engineering design, has developed a topology-optimized active coolant distributor for electric vehicles. Adient, the world’s leading car seat manufacturer, While ensuring the strength and flexibility of the material, a new light-weight seat headrest with an improved size is created.
• As a US$7 billion professional chemical leader and HP3D printingMaterial partner, Lubrizol announced the launch of HP Jet Fusion 4200 3D printingSolution certified new powdered thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) material-ESTANE® 3D TPU M95-A. TPU is an ideal material for manufacturing flexible and elastic parts, and is3D printingCustomers have opened up new market opportunities. The new Lubrizol TPU can be seen as a complement to HP’s existing High Reusability PA-12, PA-12 glass particles, PA-11 and BASF Ultrasint TPU materials.
• AM Solutions, part of the Rösler Group3D printingParts automatic post-processing, surface treatment equipment, processing technology and consumables are in a leading position in the world.HP announced the establishment of a new partnership with it, committed to creating a3D printingPost-processing process.In addition, Rösler also plans to use the HP Jet Fusion 5200 series3D printingThe solution is used in its own product design and optimization, and provides end customers with Multi Jet Fusion design, component production and finishing services.
• China3D printingHaig Technology, a leading start-up company in the field of technology and application, has become HP’s first strategic partner in the orthopedic and rehabilitation industry in China. Its digital manufacturing center in Guangzhou uses Hewlett-Packard’s Multi Jet Fusion technology to provide customers with a one-stop solution for the design and manufacturing of customized orthopedic and rehabilitation products.

China’s ever-increasing consumption upgrade trend has driven a large amount of demand for customized rehabilitation products in the medical industry. Haig combines the product design capabilities of its Innovation Center with HP Multi Jet Fusion 3D printingThe technical advantages of the system provide patients with highly customized rehabilitation braces and digitize the entire chain of rehabilitation braces from design to production.This cooperation has promoted3D printingThe application development in the medical vertical field brings help to patients who need stroke orthopedic repair, arm muscle atrophy rehabilitation, finger rehabilitation exercises, etc.

Achieve mass production, refresh the production milestone

HP3D printingSolutions (from prototype construction to mass production, including plastics and metals) are widely used in many industries. In the past 12 months alone, HP Multi Jet Fusion technology has helped manufacturers around the world produce 18 million parts.

Earlier this year, HP launched a highly innovative3D printingPlastic solutions-Jet Fusion 5200 series 3D solutions.Avid, a product development company focused on improving production efficiency, Weerg, a fast-growing manufacturing component provider, Yazaki, a global automotive component supplier and wiring harness expert, and Extol, an engineering design and component manufacturer for the automotive and other industries, are all early users. HP launched Brand new3D printingThe solution helped them achieve a substantial increase in operational efficiency and productivity.

Doug Collins, founder and corporate partner of Avid Product Development, said: “HP offers more than just3D printingEquipment, they also provide a truly comprehensive solution for the mass production of final components, allowing us to use new hardware, data, software, and services to comprehensively improve operational efficiency and productivity. At the same time, new materials such as innovative features TPU are also available to Avid and ours. Customers bring great value. “

Last year, Volkswagen Group selected HP Metal Jet as the basis of its additive manufacturing industrialization strategy. Volkswagen and Hewlett-Packard are working together on the blueprint of design and production cooperation, and have achieved important milestones a few days ago. The two companies have worked closely with GKN Powder Metallurgy to produce more than 10,000 high-quality parts and components in just a few weeks, fully supporting the launch of the new ID.3 electric vehicle.
