Key Benefits
Cost-Effectiveness: Depending on production volumes, 3D printing with the HP Jet Fusion 5200 can be less costly overall for certain product categories compared to traditional manufacturing methods. This cost-effectiveness opens up new possibilities for bringing innovative products to market without breaking the budget.
Lightweight and Customizable Parts: With the HP Jet Fusion 5200, you have the ability to create lighter machine or equipment parts that are easier to customize. This enables improved equipment efficiency and reduced energy consumption, making your products more sustainable and efficient.
Complex Geometry: The HP Jet Fusion 5200 allows you to produce complex parts that are impossible or extremely difficult to make with conventional Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining. This capability unlocks new design possibilities and allows you to push the boundaries of what’s possible in product development.
No Support Structures: Unlike other 3D printing technologies such as FDM, SLA, or Material Jetting, HP Multi Jet Fusion can build parts without the need for support structures. This eliminates the need for time-consuming post-processing steps and offers even more design freedom and cost-efficiency, saving you time and resources in the production process.
Strong and High-Density Parts: The HP Jet Fusion 5200 produces strong, high-density parts with near-isometric properties on x-y and z axes. This ensures structural integrity and durability in the finished parts, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.
Functional Parts with Fine Detail: Designed to produce functional parts with fine detail and dimensional accuracy, the HP Jet Fusion 5200 ensures that every component meets precise specifications. This level of detail allows for intricate designs and complex geometries, without sacrificing quality or performance.
Chemical Resistance: Parts produced with the HP Jet Fusion 5200 exhibit excellent chemical resistance to oils, greases, alphalitic hydrocarbons, and alkalies. This makes them suitable for use in environments where exposure to harsh chemicals is a concern, ensuring long-lasting performance and reliability.
Water- and Air-Tight: Without further treatment, parts produced with the HP Jet Fusion 5200 are water- and air-tight, providing added protection against moisture and environmental factors. This ensures the integrity of the parts in various operating conditions, enhancing their longevity and performance.
UV Resistant: The materials used in HP Jet Fusion 5200 3D printing are UV resistant, making them suitable for outdoor and high-exposure applications. This UV resistance ensures that the parts maintain their integrity and appearance even when exposed to sunlight or other UV sources.
Biocompatibility Certifications: Parts produced with the HP Jet Fusion 5200 meet biocompatibility certifications, including USP Class I-VI and US FDA guidance for Intact Skin Surface Devices. This makes them suitable for use in medical and healthcare applications, where biocompatibility and safety are paramount.
How It Works
3D Printer
HP’s Jet Fusion 5200, the swiftest printer in their collection, is purpose-built for high-volume printing, capable of producing two full builds in a day. Utilizing HP’s Multi Jet Fusion technology, it selectively fuses powdered thermoplastics layer by layer to create parts with unparalleled precision and uniformity. With advanced monitoring and control capabilities, the Jet Fusion 5200 ensures optimal print parameters, resulting in parts that meet the highest standards of accuracy and performance.
Whether producing prototypes or end-use products, the Jet Fusion 5200 sets a new standard for speed, precision, and productivity in additive manufacturing.
Build Unit
By using multiple build units at Polytec 3D, we revolutionize the additive manufacturing process, allowing for both printing and processing to be carried out simultaneously. This innovative approach ensures optimal efficiency and productivity, enabling us to meet the demands of even the most complex projects with ease. With each build unit meticulously designed for easy material management, including precise monitoring of volume and material loaded, we guarantee seamless operations from start to finish.
Processing Station
At Polytec 3D, we prioritize streamlined material management, and with HP’s processing station, we’ve taken efficiency to the next level. With automated mixing ensuring a uniform mix ratio for each print, we eliminate any possibility of human error, guaranteeing consistent quality across all builds. Moreover, our processing station significantly reduces cooling time by 66%, allowing for faster turnaround times without compromising on quality.
With Polytec 3D and HP’s processing station, you can trust that every aspect of your additive manufacturing process is optimized for maximum efficiency and performance.
