AMufacture and the HP 5210
How influential is the UK in 3D Printing?
19th April 2021
You asked, we listened and finally we have delivered.
The HP Multi Jet Fusion 5210 MJF 3D printer is now up and running at AMufacture HQ and we have finally disposed of the multiple pallets and boxes that come with it ready to begin printing our customers parts.
A crucial part of our on-demand service is listening and understanding our customers needs and it was becoming clearer that what they needed was faster and more economical parts. As our ethos is "Simply Delivering Innovation", investing in the newest technology is key and we are excited to be one of the first on-demand manufacturers to offer the HP MJF 3D Printing solution to the market.
Read this blog to find out more about MJF technology and what it can offer your production supply chains.
What is MJF (Powder Bed Fusion)
MJF is the latest technology offering in polymer powder bed 3D Printing and is up to 10 times faster than competing technologies whilst producing parts with superior mechanical and dimensional properties with precise tolerances.
The printed parts exhibit fine feature definition, are constant and repeatable and have an excellent surface finish.
MJF has multiple applications to suit every customer - perfect for short runs through to serial production.
What are the benefits of our newest technology?
There are too many to mention but after initial feedback from clients (apart from the great pricing) the top 5 benefits are:
1. Super fast build times: next day delivery available2. Functional: excellent mechanical properties
3. Repeatability: dimensional accuracy every part every time
4. Scalable: single part, low production runs through to serial manufacturing
5. Sustainable: environmentally friendly and recyclable
Who will benefit from the technology?
Honestly? Everyone can benefit from MJF printed parts especially if your main focus is to lower costs of production. Traditionally low run production methods such as injection moulding have always come with a hefty price tag due to the need to make a tool. With MJF 3D printing the need for the tool is eradicated, which instantly lowers the cost.
Other 3D printing technologies can claim the same but with the HP 5210 printer you can achieve an end to end production cycle as the printer can also accommodate serial production runs.
