HP Inc. and Siemens have expanded their longstanding collaboration to enable even more advanced functionality across a broader set of Siemens PLM software to change the way users can design and manufacture with HP’s Multi Jet Fusion 3-D printing technology.
Siemens and HP will enable users of Siemens’ NX software and Solid Edge software to design and produce full color 3-D printed parts. “HP’s Jet Fusion 3-D 300/500 series is the industry’s first 3-D printing solution for the production of engineering-grade, functional parts in full color, black or white – with voxel-level control – in a fraction of the time of other solutions,” said a company spokesperson.
The Jet Fusion 3-D 300/500 series also supports the leading color file formats including 3MF, enabling designers to easily produce the color parts they want with a reliable workflow. Users taking advantage of NX and Solid Edge for HP’s Multi Jet Fusion technology will have access to 3MF files ready for HP’s entire portfolio of printers including the industrial-grade HP Jet Fusion 4200/4210 and 300/500 solutions.
“Our users will now be able to apply the power and flexibility of Siemens’ NX and Solid Edge product design software to HP’s groundbreaking 3-D printing technology, opening a world of new design possibilities with the availability of full-color parts,” said Tony Hemmelgarn, President and CEO, Siemens PLM Software. “We share HP’s vision that 3-D printing is empowering companies to reinvent their product lifecycles to prosper and thrive in manufacturing’s all-digital future. Expanding our partnership with HP allows us to continue to elevate additive manufacturing (AM) for end-use parts at industrial scale.”
The combination of the two leading digital manufacturing technologies expands the potential applications for Siemens’ digital innovation software and HP’s disruptive Multi Jet Fusion 3-D printing technology. Customers will have the ability to quickly and economically prototype and produce new designs and endpart applications with advanced voxel capabilities. In addition, the collaboration creates new opportunities to accelerate the adoption of 3-D printing at an industrial scale for customers and partners that participate in Siemens’ AM Network.
“Adding the full-color capabilities of HP’s expanded Multi Jet Fusion platform to Siemens’ market-leading design and manufacturing solutions creates an immense new set of possibilities for products and applications,” said Stephen Nigro, President of 3D Printing, HP Inc. “It is exciting to deliver the power of our technologies to customers large and small, fundamentally changing the 3-D printing end-to-end process, from design to prototyping and ultimately manufacturing. This is another pivotal step not just for our companies, but for the entire global manufacturing ecosystem, as together with Siemens we change the way the world designs and manufactures.”
Siemens and HP share the objective to accelerate the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry, providing all of the necessary capabilities, from generative design for product innovation through 3-D printing for industrial-scale manufacturing. Through generative design, companies can automate innovative designs directly from functional requirements which can result in enhanced functional performance for parts and products. Using HP Multi Jet Fusion technology, companies can manufacture these innovative parts more economically at larger production volume.
