HP announces innovations in polymer and metal 3D printing

HP has introduced solutions aimed at reducing costs, scaling production and accelerating adoption across diverse applications. With these developments, the company continues to play a pivotal role in enabling an economy of scale for 3D printing, empowering industries to overcome adoption barriers and unlock new potential. During the recent Formnext 2024 at Frankfurt, HP unveiled breakthrough innovations in polymer and metal 3D printing, alongside strategic collaborations that push the boundaries of additive manufacturing across industries.

HP’s latest offerings in polymer 3D printing focus on scalable, cost-effective, sustainable solutions for every stage of production. The new advancements provide significant cost reductions for parts manufacturing through new cost strategies and product offerings that optimise material use, operational efficiency and production yield, reinforcing their mission of making 3D printing accessible to everyone. HP will continue to build on top of their upgradeable production platform so that customers can grow with the technology as they advance in their journey. HP has also introduced HP 3D HR PA 12 FR enabled by Evonik, a new halogen-free, flame-retardant material for 3D printing. Available in early 2025, this new material reflects HP’s broader goal of making industrial-grade 3D printing more accessible and affordable.
