This is located on the flat platform of the printer (platen) and moves the media, detecting the progress of each print job. HP reported savings of approximately $15,000 in tooling with MJF as it eliminated the need for molds. Furthermore, according to the company, as a result of additive manufacturing, HP has reduced the cost of other parts to 93% while accelerating development cycles and iterations of design, reducing the time from weeks to days. Such 3D printed components are lighter and more space efficient which has also decreased material consumption in the overall production of the HP Stitch S printers.
