How HP Multi Jet Fusion Works

Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) is a revolutionary HP additive technology that heat fuses parts at the voxel (volumetric-pixel) level and uses thermal inkjet arrays to quickly print complex and intricate parts. It’s essentially a powder bed technology that uses your CAD file to print layer by layer, adding fusing and detailing agents and high-intensity light to fuse the material wherever the ink is deposited. MJF parts can be produced with a variety of materials, including polymers and springy, durable elastomers.

Here’s how our MJF solutions can help you:

Create layers of highly accurate parts with intricate details and aesthetics, in a single piece or sub-components.
Simplify design and manufacturing processes to reduce processing time and costs while ensuring precision.
Produce rubber-like parts with advanced materials like the new production-ready elastomeric, Thermoplastic Polyamide (TPA).
Build parts that perform well in cold and warm environments with multiple color and surface finishing options.
Get the superior isotropic properties and exceptional mechanical performance you need from HP MJF parts.

Why Customers Choose UPTIVE

"We had the parts you just delivered independently inspected and everything looked good. Please extend a large “Thank You and job well done!” to all the members of your team for me. Getting the parts early and correct has really helped us out immensely and we are currently working on building them up. Great job all around!"
James, High-End Sensor Technology Company
"Just want to send you a quick note to say thank you! The parts from our order came in very well packaged, no damage. Parts look and function great. I am really appreciative of the packaging, we have had to deal with poor packing so many times from other vendors that it is a surprise when it is done right. Looking forward to more work with you guys in this coming year."
Damian, Industrial Automation Company
