Having launched its first 3D printer, the HP Jet Fusion 3D in May, the company has announced that shipments have now begun.

The first recipients are co-development partners in Europe and North America that made a public commitment to the HP Multi Jet Fusion technology when the product was launched in May. Jabil, Materialise and Shapeways are among the customers that will be receiving these initial installations.

In November, Evonik announced that its plastic powder, VESTOSINT 3D Z2773, had become the first certified material announced for HP’s Open Platform Program for 3D materials. Our other confirmed materials partners include BASF, Arkema and Lehmann and Voss.

HP is also identifying and working with reseller partners as they complete the HP 3D print specialisation application and requirements to become an HP authorized partner. Authorised partners will sell and service the entire portfolio of HP’s 3D printing solutions and accessories.

“Six months ago we unveiled the HP Jet Fusion 3D Printing Solution, as well as a list of visionary companies looking to join HP on the journey toward the next industrial revolution,” said Ramon Pastor, Vice President and General Manager, HP 3D Multi Jet Fusion business. “As installations of the products begin to ramp up, we expect our co-development partners to unveil game changing parts and innovative materials with unprecedented quality and cost savings.”
