Sculpteo is now offering HP Metal Jet additive manufacturing services to customers across Europe and the USA.
HP launched its metal binder jet offering in 2022, promising high-quality parts at scale and eyeing application opportunities in the medical, industrial, consumer goods, and automotive industries.
According to HP, the Metal Jet technology boasts high throughput, exceptional detail, and competitive economics. It works by selectively jetting liquid binder onto layers of powder to form a 'green' part that is later debinded and sintered to yield the final density and mechanical properties. Per HP, the process can build complex geometries without support structures, while delivering consistent material properties.
Integrating this technology into its service, Sculpteo has established a 'streamlined workflow for flexibility and scalability. It will support prototypes, low to mid-volume production, and large batches, empowering designers and engineers to iterate more quickly and produce real end-use components on demand.
“This service marks a new era for digital manufacturing,” said Alexandre d’Orsetti, CEO of Sculpteo: “Our integration of HP Metal Jet technology means customers can now leverage production-grade metal additive manufacturing to produce bespoke prototypes through to hundreds or thousands of parts without upfront investment in hardware.”
