1 min read

At last week’s Formnext exhibition in Germany, HP, a specialist in 3D printing and digital manufacturing solutions, signed a co-operation agreement with AM Solutions, the brand name under which the Rösler 3D post processing and 3D printing services divisions offer its products and services. The two companies want to jointly improve the automatic post processing of components printed with HP’s Multi Jet Fusion technology.

HP’s Multi Jet Fusion platform provides users with the ability to develop new designs, applications and production-ready final parts on the same platform. The company’s Jet Fusion 3D printing portfolio includes the recently introduced Jet Fusion 5200 series 3D printing solution for industrial applications.

As a specialist in the post processing of 3D printed products, the 3D post processing division of AM Solutions offers a host of services, including: processes for unpacking; the removal of support structures and residual powder, including sintered powder particles; surface cleaning and smoothing; radiusing of sharp edges; polishing; and dyeing. For the various post-processing stages, the company offers fully automatic systems which not only guarantee significant increases in productivity and cost reductions, but ensure that the processes are repeatable and offer a high degree of sustainability.

Stephan Rösler, CEO of the Rösler Oberflächentechnik GmbH, says: “HP is an extremely valuable partner within our AM network. This co-operation allows us to further improve our automated post-processing solutions and adapt them specifically to Multi Jet Fusion technology.”

Ramon Pastor, interim head of HP 3D Printing & Digital Manufacturing, adds: “This partnership is an important example of HP’s commitment to collaborating with leaders in the industrial ecosystem and drive the digital transformation of manufacturing. The Rösler group offers comprehensive know-how in equipment building and surface finishing, which is critical to production.”

Parallel to the start of the co-operation, the 3D printing services division of AM Solutions is expanding its digital manufacturing capabilities with the installation of its own HP Jet Fusion 5200 series 3D printer.
