HP is also partnering with Parmatech, a metals
manufacturing pioneer specializing in producing low-cost,
high-volume metal parts for the medical and industrial
sectors. “HP Metal Jet represents the first truly viable 3D
technology for the industrial-scale production of metal parts.
We are excited to deploy HP Metal Jet in our factories and
begin manufacturing complex parts, such as surgical scissors
and endoscopic surgical jaws, and new applications and
geometries not possible with conventional metal fabrication
technologies,” said Rob Hall, President of Parmatech.
unprecedented tools to help them go further and faster, in a
world that demands we never stand still.
1. Based on comparable competitive binder jetting and selective laser
melting (SLM) metals 3D printing solutions available as of July 31, 2018.
Productivity claim based on: 1) up to 50 times more productive, on
average, based on print speed for serial production up to 100,000 parts,
and 2) solution acquisition cost.
2. Low cost based on comparable competitive binder jetting and
selective laser melting (SLM) metals 3D printing solutions available
as of July 31, 2018.
With advanced metal-3D printing technology for mass
production, businesses can drive growth by producing
strong, high-performance parts at low cost and unlocking
new revenue streams. Designers and producers are free
to imagine products and solutions that push beyond
existing design constraints to solve big challenges and to
out-innovate and outproduce competitors. Early adopters
in the era of additive manufacturing are equipped with
