HP reveals new Jet Fusion 5200 3D printing solution and strategic alliances

One of the largest manufacturers of industrial solutions, HP, is releasing its new 3D printer: the HP Jet Fusion 5200. It unveiled its new AM solution at an event with Siemens today, thus expanding its portfolio with an additional machine. A new TPU 3D printing material was also unveiled, as were strategic alliances with major industrial groups and a digital manufacturing network. We have often reported on the achievements of this giant company. Recently, the company reached the milestone of more than 10 million printed parts last year.

The new HP Jet Fusion 5200 series is designed to optimise users’ manufacturing needs by delivering high quality, precision, efficiency, flexibility and productivity. In fact the HP Jet Fusion 5200 is designed to be an end-to-end industrial solution at volume. The printer also includes some new data intelligence, software, and services capabilities, including the HP 3D Process Control, the HP 3D Center software offerings and the HP 3D Parts Assessment service. The aim is to allow customers to reach even greater operational efficiency and repeatability. The first users include BASF and Materialise as well as Jaguar Land Rover and Vestas, one of the largest manufacturers of wind turbines. Additionally, the TPU material presented, ULTRASINT™, was developed by chemical giant BASF and is suitable for printing flexible and elastic parts on the HP Jet Fusion 5200.

“The introduction of the new TPU is a significant milestone in the cooperation between BASF and HP, aligned with our common objective to accelerate the industrialisation of additive manufacturing“, explained Dr. Markus Kamieth, Member of the Board of Executive Directors at BASF.
