Technology & Products
Key Products
Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) 3D printing - PA12, PA11, TPU; Large-format FDM 3D printing; Stereolithography (SLA) 3D printing; 3D scanning and reverse engineering; Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) consultation; Polyurethane casting; Vapor smoothing and surface finishing
Technological Advantage
HP Multi Jet Fusion technology provides superior surface finish and mechanical properties compared to standard FDM, enabling direct production applications. Access to multiple material systems (PA12, PA11, TPU) and integrated post-processing reduces supply chain complexity for customers.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Largest fleet of HP MJF machines in the UK enables fast, flexible production of complex geometries with PA12, PA11, and TPU materials at both express and economic lead times. Integrated design-for-additive-manufacturing (DfAM) expertise and post-processing capabilities (vapor smoothing, PU casting, reverse engineering) reduce time-to-market and tooling costs for medical, automotive, and architectural applications.
How They Differentiate
Focus on production-ready outputs (not just prototypes); largest MJF fleet in UK; integrated DfAM design support; emphasis on post-processing (vapor smoothing, casting) to reduce downstream manufacturing steps
