HP Metal Jet S100 3D Printer

The HP Jet Fusion 3D Printing Solution 5420W is a production printer for the mass production of white parts. The entire system consists of the 3D printer itself, an interchangeable build unit where the actual 3D printing takes place, and process equipment. Also included are interchangeable cooling units to increase production productivity. When coupled with HP's dedicated 3D Process Control software for seamless production control, the HP Jet Fusion 5200 is the solution for medium volume production of white plastic parts.

What are the benefits of white? For some applications, white is simply required by customers. A typical example is in the medical field. In addition to pure white prints, the white 3D printing option is indispensable when a part needs to be coloured. In this case, the white surface is irreplaceable and parts produced on the HP 5420W can be coloured in any shade to achieve a great design without technical limitations.

A very strong point of the HP 5420W is the consistency of 3D printing, both in the size of the prints and especially in the colour from the first to the last part. Thanks to the stable color output, it is also possible to efficiently manage the subsequent post-processing along with the coloring process and ensure production stability.

And how does it work? You then insert the build unit filled with material into the 3D printer and start printing. When printing is complete, you attach a smaller cooling unit to the build unit, into which the still hot printed parts are automatically moved. The build unit is thus immediately ready for further parts production. After the parts have cooled down, the process unit removes the unbaked build material from the cooling unit to be used for the new build.

In addition to HP 3D Process Control, as with other HP Jet Fusion devices, the solution includes highly intuitive and powerful software with the necessary tools for data preparation and subsequent part production.

The entire technology is based on very precise yet fast deposition of building material and special solutions and subsequent interaction with temperature. 3D printing of a single layer is constant no matter how complex the part you are printing. You can print a 380 x 284 x 380 mm build area in as little as 13.5 hours on the HP Jet Fusion 5420W.
