Volume production of end-use parts
Here at Tempus 3D we use HP's Multi Jet Fusion 5200 3D printer because of it's industry-leading capabilities that make it one of the most popular choices in the industrial sector for rapid prototyping and low-to-mid volume manufacturing of end-use parts.
This equipment is designed specifically for the production environment to mass-produce engineering-grade plastic parts with excellent mechanical properties at a low cost per part. With printing speeds up to 10x faster than comparable technologies, Multi Jet Fusion is a popular choice for the transition between prototyping and mass production of end-use parts.
This technology is also an economical alternative to injection molding with more design freedom, shorter lead times and greater adaptability.

Ultrasint TPU
TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) is a rubber-like polymer ideal for producing parts that require high elasticity, shock absorption, elasticity and energy return.
Nylon PA12 GB
HP Nylon 12 filled with 40% glass bead to give stiffness and stability while maintaining the excellent material qualities of HP Nylon PA12. Ideal for stiff, functional parts.
Polypropylene
This durable plastic has high elasticity, low moisture absorbtion, and high elongation at break. It is an excellent choice for light, water-tight, and durable parts.
How does Multi Jet Fusion work?
Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) is a Powder Bed Fusion technology designed by HP for manufacturing end-use plastic parts. A thin layer of powder (0.08 mm thick) is laid in the build platform and fusing and detailing agent is laid on top. Each layer is fused ~10 layers deep with irradiant heat. With this process hundreds of parts can be built at once, compared to one at a time with most 3D printing technology such as SLS or FDM.
This unique printing process produces parts with high density and low porosity, with excellent mechanical properties and an exceptionally smooth surface straight out of the printer. This process also means short lead times, ideal for rapid prototyping and small- to medium-production runs of engineering-grade end-use parts.
Additional post-production treatment can enhance the surface finish and performance of the parts.
