Learn more about technology

Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) technology is a 3D dust-bed printing system developed by HP. Unlike SLS technology, this technology does not require a laser to sinter the material. A powder bed is deposited inside the print build and heated to a fixed temperature. A melting agent is deposited on these powders where the material will have to melt and a ...
