If you’re interested in purchasing an industrial 3D printer, we may be able to help: The process is similar to Selective Laser Sintering, though instead of using a laser to sinter the part, MJF uses these ink agents to solidify the part using infrared. This may sound similar to SLS 3D printing, and it is. This is repeated, layer by layer, until the print is finished. Multi Jet Fusion is faster than SLS 3D printers as the heat source scans the whole layer at once, rather than tracing the area via a single point. The build area is then heated, so that the intended areas solidify - while the other areas remain in powder form. Note the lack of supports necessary and the resulting smooth surface finish. This helps create sharper surface finishes with more detail on the boundaries. This is very similar to binder jetting in that the fusing agent improves heat absorption - meaning that area will solidify under the heat while the rest of the material is unaffected.Ī detailing agent is applied simultaneously around the edges of the part to be printed. A fusing agent is then applied on the dimensions for the print to be solidified.

Once printing has commenced, a layer of build powder is applied over the print area. An infographic explaining the Multi Jet Fusion Printing Process. HP offer their own 3D printer software that helps with printing by efficiently packing the build chamber to make the best use of the printing material.

Once the built unit has been inserted into the 3D printer, you can start printing.
