The power of HP’s Open Materials Platform approach is quickly emerging, with more than 50 chemical companies actively engaged, including newly-added market leaders Dow Chemical and DSM. Dow and DSM are among the companies that have acquired HP’s industry-first Materials Development Kit (MDK) with the objective of developing 3D powders for Jet Fusion 3D printers in collaboration with HP.
“DSM is committed to accelerating adoption of additive manufacturing, and has acquired HP’s Materials Development Kit to jump-start our 3D powder development for Multi Jet Fusion,” said Hugo da Silva, VP of Additive Manufacturing Business at DSM. “DSM will collaborate with HP in the development of 3D materials and bring innovative new solutions to the market.”
Additionally, existing HP Open Materials Platform partners Evonik and Henkel have acquired HP Jet Fusion 3D printers to accelerate customized applications development. Evonik is currently investing in powder capacity expansion and business resources to support the market in the transition from prototyping to real manufacturing, which includes the investment in Jet Fusion printers to develop customized powders for several different applications. Henkel, recently announced as the first HP Jet Fusion global reseller, is focusing on accelerating 3D printing adoption and developing materials for custom applications.
“We’re excited to deepen our partnership with HP and its 3D materials ecosystem through our investment in Jet Fusion 3D printing systems to develop customized materials for several different applications, “ said Dr. Matthias Kottenhahn, Head of Business Line High Performance Polymers for Evonik. “Even more than 3D printing itself, it’s the boundless potential applications of advanced 3D printing technology like HP’s Multi Jet Fusion that will truly shape the future.”
