HP has announced that it’s now taking orders for its Jet Fusion 3D printers, with the hardware expected to begin shipping from late 2016.
The company claims that its Jet Fusion 3D Printing Solution revolutionises prototyping and printing by delivering “superior quality” end products at half the cost, and up to 10 times faster, than current rivals (FDM and SLS printer solutions in the same price bracket).
It offers printing at the individual voxel level (the 3D printing equivalent of a single pixel in 2D printing, as it were) so boasts high levels of accuracy, and also speed with the ability to print over 340 million voxels per second.
In short, we are looking at a huge boost in print speeds and far quicker prototyping of parts. And while this is aimed at commercial usage and the hardware is very expensive, it’s exciting to see what sort of technology is in the wings and could potentially trickle down in some form to desktop 3D printing.
Magic combination
Stephen Nigro, president of HP’s 3D printing business, commented: “The new HP Jet Fusion 3D Printing Solution delivers a combination of speed, quality, and cost never seen in the industry. Businesses and manufacturers can completely rethink how …read more
