Some testing times for 3D printing

摘要

Additive specialist Proto Labs has been chosen by HP to test its new Multi Jet Fusion technology for industrial-grade 3D printing. HP's first foray into additive manufacturing saw the US tech giant unveil two high-end printers (Jet Fusion 3D 3200 and Jet Fusion 3D 4200) in May, which it claims are significantly faster and cheaper than rival systems. Proto Labs is one of several companies HP is collaborating with as part of its Early Customer Engagement Programme, designed to provide feedback to accelerate the technology. Other partners include Shapeways, Materialise, Jabil and Siemens.
