Looking ahead, HP is confident
that Jabil’s end-to-end manufacturing
solutions and collaborative approach
will continue to drive adoption of Multi
Jet Fusion technology. “I would say that
by 2021, almost one-third of the parts
that Jabil produces could make sense
to be 3D printed,” adds Nigro. “Jabil is
helping us make our 3D printing eco-
system more successful as we move
into volume production. They have a
great, high-integrity team of people;
it’s a winning combination.”
About Jabil
Jabil is a digital product solu-
tions
company
providing
comprehensive electronics de-
sign, production and product
management services to glob-
al electronics and technology
companies. Offering complete
“We saw break-even
points climb
from 5,000 units to 20,000, 30,0000,
up to 40,000 units. We’ve also gone
through 19 design iterations for a
part in the time it would take us to do
one with traditional manufacturing
methods. This speeds time-to-mar-
ket and saves a considerable amount
of money which confirmed our belief
that 3D printing is ready for manufac-
turing applications.”

Together, Jabil and HP are gaining
significant ground in revolutioniz-
ing manufacturing through the use
of innovative, end-to-end 3D print-
ing solutions. “We recently were
awarded the contract to manufac-
ture the next-generation HP printer,”
concludes Dulchinos. “It’s really
exciting to know that we’re helping
to ramp up production of a printer
we’ll be using in the future to make
parts for HP and other customers
around the world.”
