HP Multijet Fusion technology is known for its high-quality parts with near isotropic qualities and performance. The advances offered by Multi Jet Fusion can add up to major advantages, including: Better mechanical performance Significant cost savings with batch manufacturing Accelerated time to market with faster build speeds On the back end of getting such great parts, there is post-processing that needs to be done. Whether support removal, sanding, bead blasting or bathing it needs to [...]
by Jillian Crocker, Administrative Assistant In the midst of a pandemic, hospitals and medical facilities have felt a huge impact as many have exhausted their medical supplies. Many are searching for strategies and others available to help. Many facilities are working incredibly hard to create essential equipment to aid in the fight and eradication of the spread of COVID-19. To aid in the cause, Desktop Metal is offering its services to medical equipment manufacturers and [...]
HP has organized globally with its digital manufacturing community to help with the shortage of medical supplies. More than 1000 3D printed parts have already been delivered to local hospitals. To support these efforts, they have developed a website with files that are vetted for public use. And, those in need of parts or help with medical applications and design can also request help on the same website. Currently, they have several designs which are [...]
