What are the main benefits of HP 3D Industrial Printers?

  1. Surface Resolution – No layer-lines found in most 3D printing technologies. Parts don’t appear to be additively manufactured.
  2. Part Strength – The Z axis maintains 95% of the strength as the X and Y axis and produces air and water tight parts.
  3. Through-put – The combination of quick print times, multiple build units, and natural cooling units can produce parts in unrivaled quantities.

Why One Detroit-Area OEM Chose HP Multi Jet Fusion as Their Additive Manufacturing Solution

Presentation by Wagon Wills, Chief Engineer at Gonzalez Production Systems

Three years ago, Gonzalez Production Systems began a competitive analysis for the right additive manufacturing to fit their needs. They considered SLM, Binder Jetting, SLA, FDM/FFF, and Multi Jet Fusion. After evaluating cost and performance attributes (stiffness, strength, precision/dimensional stability, toughness, wear, corrosion resistance, and more), the HP 5200 came out on top.

Get the inside scoop as Chief Engineer Wagon Wills discusses exactly why Gonzalez chose HP’s 5200 Series 3D printer to meet their production needs. Learn about Gonzalez’s experience with the installation of their printer and the impact of implementing this additive manufacturing technology at their facility.

Lunch will be provided.
