About

HP’s Multi Jet Fusion technology is a new printing process that uses special fusing and detailing agents in combination with heat lamps to fuse particles in a bed of powder. Each new layer is fused to the last in order to produce parts with a tensile strength in the Z-axis that is comparable to that in the XY-plane. Resulting models have excellent mechanical properties, with a strength and density exceeding that of parts produced using other powder-based technologies. The strength and heat resistance makes it an excellent choice for functional parts, such as components for drones, mounts, and gears. Thin walls are flexible, which makes nylon great for living hinges and compliant mechanisms. The surface can be post-processed to be smooth and semi-glossy, which makes this material great for visual prototypes and home decor.
