Additive manufacturing is increasingly evolving from rapid prototyping into a possibility for functional series production. One technology playing a pivotal role in this transformation is Multi Jet Fusion (MJF). The process, introduced by HP, has now matured into a reliable industrial method, particularly attractive for economically viable small-batch production — without the costs and time for injection moulding tools.

At Speedpart, the integration of MJF into the 3D printing portfolio has allowed a substantial expansion in the spectrum of applications. By showcasing a concrete example with more than 600 parts at a unit cost of just 2.75 euros, Speedpart recently demonstrated that additive manufacturing has arrived in the world of economic small series. The advantages of 3D printing are no longer limited to design freedom; today, it’s about speed, repeatability and cost-efficiency at scale.
