Materialise Software Helps Power HP’s new Jet Fusion 3D Printing Solution

Materialise NV is proud to announce that HP Inc. selected its industry-leading 3D printing software as a certified solution in HP’s Open Software Platform to power the new HP Jet Fusion 3D Printing Solution. The new solution, now available for order, is compatible with Materialise Magics 3D Print Suite and allows for seamless integration of the new printer in the existing workflows of the Magics suite.

Materialise is collaborating with machine manufacturers to bridge the gap between 3D software and a wide range of 3D printers. The latest collaboration includes HP, which announced its new 3D printer today at RAPID, the annual 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing event. Materialise designs Build Processor software that is certified by HP, which enables a seamless integration between software and printer. Materialise’s user-friendly build processor simplifies the 3D printing workflow, creating an improved user experience that helps customers get the most out of their HP 3D printer.

“This collaboration with HP combines more than 100 years of software and printing expertise. Our mutual knowledge will benefit businesses producing functional prototypes to final production parts,” stated Fried Vancraen, Materialise CEO. “Developing a Build Processor that connects HP technology to our software backbone for 3D Printing felt like a natural step. We want users of the Materialise Magics 3D Print Suite to have access to premium technologies.”

“3D printing will bring tremendous benefit to manufacturing, helping to make it faster and less expensive,” said Stephen Nigro, president of HP’s 3D printing business. ”Matching the HP Jet Fusion 3D Printing Solution with Materialise software provides our customers the best-in-class solution for industrial 3D printing.”

The synergy between the two companies resulted in an integration between Materialise software and the HP Jet Fusion 3D Printing Solution. Based on the input from the HP engineers and our hands-on experience with the HP Jet Fusion prototype, Materialise developed the Build Processor which, when combined with Materialise Magics 3D Print Suite, offers a great user experience for file fixing, and pre-print processing. Through the Build Processor systems, the AM data preparation process has expanded to allow slice-based technology, enabling improved handling of large files, such as those containing metadata on texturing or structures. Combining the HP record speed 3D printer with the Materialise Magics 3D Print Suite has the potential to make the widespread use of 3D printers in scaled up manufacturing environments a reality in the near future.
