Maximum Part Size | 11.1 in. x 14.9 in. x 14.9 in | 284mm x 380mm x 380mm |
Layer Thickness | 0.00315 in. | 80 microns |
Minimum Feature Size | 0.020 in. | 0.5mm |
Wall Thickness | 0.020 in. | 0.5mm |
Tolerances: For well-designed parts, tolerances of +/- 0. 012 in. (0.30mm) plus 0.1% of nominal length for each additional inch can typically be achieved. Note that tolerances may change depending on part geometry.
Warpage: Larger part sizes (>7 in.) and parts with thin features are the most susceptible to warp. We recommend maintaining a uniform thickness of 0.125 in. (3.175mm) to ensure stability.
MJF Material Options
PA 12 Black
PA 12 Black is a high tensile strength nylon. Final parts are dyed black, and they exhibit quality surface finishes and slightly more isotropic mechanical properties when compared to SLS. When more detail is required, PA 12 can achieve smaller minimum feature resolution (0.02 in) as compared to SLS materials (0.03 in). PA 12 Black is the best material option for designs that incorporate living hinges.
Primary Benefits
- Near isotropic mechanical properties
- Economical material choice
PA 12 40% Glass-Filled Black
PA 12 40% Glass-Filled Black is a 40% glass-filled nylon. Final parts are dyed black. The biggest advantage offered by this material is heat deflection at 347°F (measured at 66 psi), ranking 2nd best after PA 12 Mineral-Filled.

Multi Jet Fusion Surface Finish
Standard | A bead blast removes all powder and leaves a consistent overall texture. Parts are then dyed a standard black color. |
Custom | Secondary options include a primer that can be applied as well as taps and inserts. |
Our MJF 3D Printers
We use HP Jet Fusion 3D 4210 and 5210 machines that are capable of accelerated build speeds when compared to other powder-based additive manufacturing technology. The HP 3D printers produce commercial-grade parts with enhanced surface finishes and improved mechanical properties compared to other 3D printing technology.
Why Use Multi Jet Fusion?
See how 3D printing with Multi Jet Fusion is ideal for functional prototypes and end-use, production parts.
How Does Multi Jet Fusion Work?
Multi Jet Fusion uses an inkjet array to selectively apply fusing and detailing agents across a bed of nylon powder, which are then fused by heating elements into a solid layer. After each layer, powder is distributed on top of the bed and the process repeats until the part is complete.
When the build finishes, the entire powder bed with the encapsulated parts is moved to a processing station where a majority of the loose powder is removed by an integrated vacuum. Parts are then bead blasted to remove any of the remaining residual powder before ultimately reaching the finishing department where they are dyed black to improve cosmetic appearance.

MJF service
How MJF works
Multi Jet Fusion MJF, known as HP 3D printing, is an industrial 3D printing process that produces functional nylon prototypes and finished production parts in as little as 1 day. Multi Jet Fusion uses an ink jet to selectively apply fusers and detailing agents to a layer of nylon powder, which are then fused into a continuous layer by heating elements. After each layer, the powder is spread over the bed and the process is repeated until the part is complete. This highly efficient method allows the creation of complex geometrically shaped functional parts as thin as 80 microns in one go - with mechanical properties comparable to injection molded parts.
-Speed - more than 10 times faster than conventional systems;
- Ability to compete on IM cost in some cases;
- Excellent dimensional accuracy and detail;
- Reliable mechanical properties;
- Great for prototype and amplifier; Production;

What is the difference between 3D printing and additive manufacturing?
Additive manufacturing and 3D printing services differ from each other in the following ways:
3D printing specifically involves creating products by combining materials in layers.
Whereas additive manufacturing creates parts by adding material that may or may not be layers.
How many types of 3D printing technologies are there?
Among the many types of 3D printing technologies, the following seven are the most commonly used.
SLA 3D printing
SLA is also called stereolithography machine. It is a method of creating parts, models, templates and prototypes by connecting layers.
Typically a photochemical process in which light binds polymeric materials to form 3D printed products.
In addition, SLA-3D printing technology creates parts and prototypes for medical use, engineering use, and other development processes.
SLS 3D printing
Selective laser sintering or SLS is an additive manufacturing technology.
It uses a powerful laser to sinter tiny powder (polymer) particles into a solid structure that varies depending on the 3D printed model.
SLS is currently one of the most widely used 3D printing technologies around the world for many engineers and manufacturers.
The qualities included in SLS are the production of parts at low cost, high productivity, smooth surface, etc.
3D printing MJF
prototypes and details in almost 24 hours.
The manufactured parts or prototypes are of high quality, smooth surface, excellent resolution, high precision, precision, etc. layer.
Finally, the powder is scattered on top of the bed and the technique is repeated again until the piece is complete.
DLP-3D printing
DLP or Digital Light Processing is the same process as SLA and works with photopolymers.
The main difference between them is the light source they use to create parts and prototypes.
Also, Larry Hornbeck, an engineer at Texas Instruments, first invented the DLP printer at 1987 year.
However, projector-based DLP was developed by Digital Projection Ltd in 1997.
FDM 3D printing
Fused deposit modeling, FDM 3D printing, or Fused filament fabrication (FFF) are additive manufacturing technologies.
Layers of material are combined into a pattern to create a specific product or part.
The layers are fused by stacking on top of each other throughout the printing process and at the end form smooth finished parts.
In addition, it is an affordable and widely used 3D printer that produces various parts in different sizes.
PolyJet 3D printing
This is a powerful 3D printer that produces parts with a microscopic layer resolution of about 0.014 mm.
It produces fairly thin walls and extremely complex geometries using modern and high quality material.
In addition, it provides you with smooth, accurate, accurate and high quality prototypes, products and tools.
The PolyJet was first introduced by Rami Bonen, Gershon Miller and Hanan Gotait in 1998 with Objet Geometries Limited.
SLM 3D printing
Selective laser melting or SLM is a special 3D printing machine that uses a high power density laser source.
It uses a laser to fuse and melt metal powders and produces almost net-like products and almost full density prototypes.
Remember that SLM Services are specifically designed for the production of metal alloys.
