Benefits of HP Multi Jet Fusion
HP Multi Jet Fusion differentiates itself from competing 3D printing technologies like SLS, SLA, and FDM. A comprehensive suite of production, cost, and performance advantages that streamline product development and scalable manufacturing. The most transformative benefit is exceptional print production: MJF’s dual-agent fusing and detailing system delivers production speeds up to 10x faster than selective laser sintering, enabling full build plates of dozens of distinct parts to complete in hours rather than days, drastically cutting design iteration cycles for engineering teams. Unlike laser-based powder fusion, Hp multi jet fusion generates fully isotropic mechanical properties across X, Y, and Z axes parts exhibit uniform tensile strength, impact resistance, and flexibility in every orientation, eliminating weak layer lines common in FDM and uneven vertical performance in SLS printed components.
Standard Tolerances for HP MJF Materials
Our dimensional standards tolerance align with official HP Multi Jet Fusion design guidelines, segmented by material type and linear part dimension. Tolerance values distinguish horizontal (XY print plane) and vertical (Z layer axis) deviation limits, critical for fit-critical assemblies, snap buckles, gears, and precision enclosures:
| Material | Under 30 mm (1.2″) | 30 – 50 mm (1.2″ – 2.0″) | 50 – 80 mm (2.0″ – 3.2″) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nylon 11(PA11) | XY = ± 0.30 mm / .012″; Z = ± 0.42 mm / .017″ | XY = ± 0.36 mm / .014″; Z = ± 0.62 mm / .024″ | XY = ± 0.44 mm / .017″; Z = ± 1.18 mm / .046″ |
| Nylon 12 (PA12) | XY = ± 0.25 mm / .010″; Z = ± 0.42 mm / .017″ | XY = ± 0.30 mm / .012″; Z = ± 0.50 mm / .020″ | XY = ± 0.37 mm / .015″; Z = ± 0.60 mm / .024″ |
| Glass-Filled Nylon 12 | XY = ± 0.31 mm / .012″; Z = ± 0.43 mm / .017″ | XY = ± 0.35 mm / .014″; Z = ± 0.71 mm / .028″ | XY = ± 0.39 mm / .015″; Z = ± 1.16 mm / .046″ |
| Polypropylene (PP) | XY = ± 0.30 mm / .012″; Z = ± 0.40 mm / .016″ | XY = ± 0.40 mm / .016″; Z = ± 0.65 mm / .026″ | XY = ± 0.45 mm / .018″; Z = ± 1.00 mm / .039″ |
| TPU 88A Flexible Elastomer | XY = ± 0.44 mm / .017″; Z = ± 1.05 mm / .041″ | XY = ± 0.52 mm / .020″; Z = ± 1.35 mm / .053″ | XY = ± 0.66 mm / .026″; Z = ± 1.80 mm / .071″ |
