HP is entering its second decade in additive manufacturing with several updates across its polymer, filament and metal 3D printing portfolio. The company says the developments are intended to expand the capabilities of its platform, open up new applications and improve productivity in industrial additive manufacturing.

For the HP Jet Fusion 5600 series, HP is introducing a High Productivity print mode that, according to the company, increases printer output by 20 percent and helps lower cost per part at scale. The system will also support HP 3D High Reusability PA 12 Glass Beads, enabling the production of stiff and dimensionally stable parts at a lower cost and broadening the application range for HP’s polymer additive manufacturing technologies.

HP is also introducing HP Multi Jet Fusion Dual Tone technology. Enabled by HP’s agent-based MJF process, the technology allows parts to be printed in two tones, white and grey, to create features such as textures, QR codes, markings and labels. The HP Jet Fusion 5600 series will be the first system in HP’s portfolio to offer the capability as a built-in feature. Availability is planned for late 2026.

“As we mark a decade of innovation in additive manufacturing, these latest advancements across our portfolio reflect HP’s focus on bringing industrial-grade capabilities closer to where ideas take place,” said Alex Moñino, SVP and GM, HP Additive Manufacturing Solutions. “By lowering cost per part and simplifying workflows, we are making it easier for customers to adopt additive manufacturing and scale it across new applications. This commitment to innovation and lowering TCO is why industry leaders like Addman continue to invest in our technology, most recently evidenced by their acquisition of 13 new printers to expand their already significant installed base.”

Compact MJF system for wider access

HP also announced the HP Multi Jet Fusion 1200 3D Printer Solution, a compact system designed to make HP’s industrial Multi Jet Fusion technology more accessible. The printer uses the same core MJF technology as HP’s existing additive manufacturing portfolio, but in a smaller and more affordable format. According to HP, it enables teams to produce strong, functional polymer parts for real-world applications.

The system offers a 12-liter build volume and is designed for fast time to part. A guided workflow is intended to simplify day-to-day operation, while automated processes for unpacking parts, material mixing and build preparation help reduce manual intervention and support cleaner operation. HP says this should make it easier for organisations to integrate industrial additive manufacturing into their facilities.

Early users highlighted the combination of industrial-grade performance and ease of use. Eric Paris, Design Prototyper at Anima Design, said the HP Multi Jet Fusion 1200 solution “delivers industrial-grade parts in a compact format” and helps them validate designs “without changing our workflows.” Yoel Cruz, Manufacturing and Prototyping Manager at Anima Design, added that as Alpha testers “it has been rewarding to see our feedback reflected in the final printer,” and that knowing HP listened to end-users “throughout development” makes them confident the technology “will be a practical and exciting addition to any engineering space.”

HP is also working with users in new application areas, including healthcare. “As the first Beta testers of the HP MJF 1200 3D Printer Solution, we are excited to bring this innovation to the medical industry. At LualdiLabs, our goal is to enable a new model of care where advanced manufacturing capabilities are integrated closer to the point of treatment, empowering clinicians to access personalized solutions more quickly and efficiently,” said Redouane Selmoune, CEO at LualdiLabs.

According to HP, the platform is intended to help companies produce functional parts in-house while maintaining compatibility with HP’s global MJF production network. The company positions the system as a scalable entry point into its existing MJF portfolio. The full solution is scheduled to become available in early 2027.

Software support for the HP Multi Jet Fusion 1200

To support adoption, the HP Multi Jet Fusion 1200 3D Printer Solution is backed by an ecosystem of hardware and software for the additive manufacturing workflow. Each HP MJF 1200 3D Printer includes Magics Print for HP, a dedicated build-preparation software powered by Materialise as part of the CO-AM ecosystem.
