HP Multi Jet Fusion Technology

Doug Campbell, vice president of SICAM, with his company’s multi-jet fusion machine. Reprint from NJBIZ.com Hillsborough-based SICAM Corp. specializes in 3D printing, prototyping, tooling, and manufacturing. Incorporated in 1990, SICAM has clients in 38 states from a variety of industries: aerospace, automotive, computer, consumer, government, industrial, medical, pharmaceutical and telecommunications. The company also now owns a multi-jet fusion machine that vice president Doug Campbell says will make 3D printing technology a more viable option than previous technologies. Campbell said SICAM is using the machine, which it purchased for $400,000 from HP Inc., to change manufacturing. He predicts the [...]

Today we are going to take a look at a company using 3D printing to manufacture customized orthotic devices. iOrthotics makes custom insoles for podiatrists around the world. Their goal is to create a better, more scalable solution for their clients through digital manufacturing. Traditionally, iOrthotics' method for creating an insole required a mold. This involved casting the patient's foot in plaster. This could be uncomfortable for the patient and would often lead to inaccurate measurements as the casts were taken in a non-weight-bearing position. Once a mold was complete, orthotics were made through traditional methods that required skilled labor [...]

Let’s take a closer look at the HP 3D printing and their Multi Jet Fusion for machinery and production line components. Factories utilize machines of all shapes and sizes. These machines are highly specialized and consist of custom components made in small volumes. As industries strive to add more value to their customers, manufacturers are under pressure to reduce costs associated with machinery. HP Multi Jet Fusion offers a solution for producing optimized machine components, and at greater speeds and lower costs than conventional methods. Through greater speed with HP’s platform, production line downtime is reduced. In-house, on-demand production of multiple [...]

We are excited to be the first company in New England to receive our new HP 580 Series 3D Printer! The machine is fully installed, and we have started to build parts. Tailored for small/medium-sized development teams, design firms, and universities, HP’s new printer is a compact solution for producing injection mold quality parts. This automated system integrates material mixing and loading, printing, and reclaiming material in one machine. Teams can accelerate their design cycle by producing prototype iterations or functional parts without tooling, at a faster pace compared with traditional 3D printing technologies. Learn more about this machine here. [...]
