HP Additive Manufacturing unveiled the HP IF 600HT industrial 3D printer at Formnext 2025, marking the corporate’s entry into filament-based additive manufacturing. The high-temperature system is scheduled for launch within the first half of 2026, with a bigger mannequin, the HP IF 1000 XL, deliberate for the second half of 2026. The modular system options swappable extruders designed for various temperature capabilities and targets functions utilizing engineered and high-temperature polymers.
The brand new filament platform enhances HP’s present Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) expertise by enabling work with high-temperature supplies that MJF can’t at present course of. HP positions the system for metallic alternative functions in aerospace, vitality, medical, rail, and automotive sectors. The printer operates on an open supplies platform and consists of an MMS cupboard for filament storage and drying.
HP introduced expanded partnerships to develop new supplies for its Steel Jet binder jetting platform. Working with Continuum Powders and Spanish analysis institute TECNALIA, the corporate is growing OptiPowder M247LC, a low-carbon nickel superalloy for high-temperature and corrosive environments focusing on aerospace and vitality functions. The businesses beforehand certified OptiPowder Ni718, which delivers sintered elements with over 98% density and secure hardness of 74-79 HR15N.
The corporate confirmed common availability of HP 3D HR PA 11 Gen2 for MJF methods, reporting as much as 80% powder reusability and as much as 40% decrease variable half prices in comparison with earlier supplies. HP additionally launched the Additive Manufacturing Community (AMN), a program designed to attach world elements demand with certified service suppliers by performance-based incentives. The corporate acknowledged it targets a 20% discount in value per half throughout its additive manufacturing portfolio by 2026 by materials improvements and workflow optimization.
