“From multinational design engineering and manufacturing, to localized production, industry leaders such as Jabil and Forecast 3D are demonstrating 3D printing’s expanding role in the digital transformation of the $12 trillion global manufacturing economy,” said Stephen Nigro, President of 3D Printing, HP Inc. “HP Multi Jet Fusion customers and partners represent critical links in a new value chain that’s rewriting the rules of design, production,and delivery, ultimately ushering in a new era of digital manufacturing.”
At the moment, Jabil is using its new network to bring product designers in Silicon Valley together with manufacturing teams in Singapore to accelerate the distributed manufacturing of products developed using MJF technology. These include parts for HP’s own 3D printers. More than 140 parts for HP’s new Jet Fusion 300/500 3D printers are being produced by Jabil in what is believed to be the most 3D printed parts for any commercial product in the world.
“HP Multi Jet Fusion gives us the foundational 3D printing platform we need to deliver truly industrial-grade, production applications for our globally distributed customers,” said John Dulchinos, Vice President of Digital Manufacturing, Jabil. “Our aim is to harmonize the multiple regions, technologies, materials, and manufacturing workflows of the 4th Industrial Revolution and HP is an important partner in that effort.”
“Our customers across all industries have spoken – and they are looking for more of the speed, quality, and cost benefits for production applications unleashed by HP Multi Jet Fusion,” said Corey Weber, CEO of Forecast 3D. “We are investing in this important 3D printing technology platform as we scale up to meet rising demand from international and domestic clients seeking to reinvent their product lifecycle.”
RAPID attendees can learn more about Multi Jet Fusion technology at HP’s booth, #1330 this week. Nigro will be speaking in the General Session on Thursday, April 26th at 8:30 AM.
