This week, at Formnext 2021, the world’s largest additive manufacturing event, HP will showcase new customers, expanded partnership programs and ecosystems, and innovative additive mass production (AMP) developed using Multi Jet Fusion and Metal Jet 3D printing platforms. ) application. HP is working with L'Oréal, the world's largest cosmetics company, to expand the scale of industrial additive manufacturing and explore new cosmetic packaging and applications. In order to meet the growing demand for more agile 3D production and large-scale personalization across industries, HP is also expanding its parts supplier's Digital Manufacturing Network (DMN).
"3D printing is opening a new level of personalization, business flexibility, sustainability and market disruption," said Didier Deltort, President of Personalization and 3D Printing at HP. Together with our partners and customers, we will continue to pave the way for mass production by improving our Multi Jet Fusion platform, HP Metal Jet’s commercial release, and investing in software, services, and partner capabilities. "
HP is working with L'Oréal to increase production flexibility and create innovative new packaging and customer experiences. L'Oréal turned to HP Multi Jet Fusion to quickly respond to changes in its manufacturing process and production line. The two companies worked together to quickly design and expand a large number of adjustable "discs", allowing L'Oréal to deliver, fill and label products more flexibly, thereby reducing costs by 33% and saving 66% of time. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the ability to customize ice hockey has also proven valuable, providing L'Oréal with additional flexibility to respond to changes in consumer buying behavior. L'Oréal plans to use HP's digital manufacturing network to expand the hockey puck in its global supply chain and to achieve its sustainability goals by efficiently producing parts when and where they are needed.
On Formnext, L'Oréal and HP showed examples of customized ice hockey pucks and the unique textures of luxury cosmetics that only HP 3D printing solutions can achieve. The two companies are exploring the design and production of various new applications that take advantage of the advanced features of the HP Multi Jet Fusion platform. The unique texture design and innovative lattice packaging are the result of a joint collaboration between L'Oréal, HP and the Committee on Alternative and Atomic Energy, and le Commissariat à l'énergie atomique et aux énergies (CEA) announced last year.
"Customer-centric innovation and sustainable products are at the core of all our work," said Anne Debauge, Director of Digital Transformation, Packaging and Development at L'Oréal. “We agree with HP’s vision to overcome our current limitations through new technologies. 3D printing provides us with the entrepreneurial freedom to provide new customer experiences. Thanks to this cooperation, our factories have gained agility and hope to create new Service goes further."
Guayente Sanmartin, Global Head of HP’s Multi Jet Fusion Business, said: “In large industries and new verticals such as cosmetics, our customers want to be more flexible and meet the growing demand for personalized products.” With the production of more than 100 million parts And growth, we are proud of the impact of Multi Jet Fusion during these turbulent times. Our cooperation with L'Oréal is a good example of the infinite possibilities that 3D printing brings. From increasing manufacturing flexibility to reimagining traditional products, this is a huge opportunity to help change the market. "
HP is expanding its global digital manufacturing network with new certified parts suppliers to ensure that the highest quality and reliability standards are met as the demand for Multi Jet Fusion production grows. The network now includes manufacturing partners and Multi Jet Fusion production professionals, using HP 3D printing solutions to design, produce, and deliver parts at scale. More than 30 new Multi Jet Fusion production professionals are providing qualified local production services.
To help manage and automate complex 3D printing workflows and large additive manufacturing fleets, HP digital manufacturing network partners and parts suppliers (such as Forecast 3D, Jawstec, Weerg, and ZiggZagg) are adopting HP's additive manufacturing product portfolio, including 3D factory services, software solutions (including HP 3D API and HP 3D Center), and hardware solutions (such as HP Automatic Unpacking Station). ZiggZagg is also the latest partner to leverage HP's 3D as a service (3DaaS) business model to expand faster by freeing up capital flexibility and improving business agility. During the fluctuating COVID-19 pandemic, this model proved to be very beneficial and is increasingly being adopted by HP's customer base.
HP and its customers showcased the final components and innovative new applications on Formnext. Highlights include BASF 3D Printing Solutions Co., Ltd. and Oechsler AG using Multi Jet Fusion and BASF ULTRASINT TPU01 powder to fully customize 3D printed full-bucket car seats. Oechsler has developed a unique elastic lattice design that is very suitable for luxury and sports car seats and highly customized features.
Other case studies will showcase the achievements of Impress, Europe's largest technology-driven orthodontic chain, which used the HP Jet Fusion 5210 solution to help expand the production of transparent orthodontics in its new production facility in Spain. Multiple 2021 Pumundus Challenge finalists: The following customers have used Multi Jet Fusion to develop applications that have been recognized in this year's Pumundus Challenge. These include ATHOS hiking shoes, Glaze Prosthetics and Odisei Music's travel saxophone. It is the smallest and lightest electronic saxophone in the world, with more than 1,200 users worldwide.
HP will also showcase the development momentum of its Metal Jet platform on Formnext, including new parts and progress with partners such as GKN and Volkswagen. Volkswagen is integrating the final parts produced by HP Metal Jet for the A-pillar of the T-Roc Cabriolet. The structural parts have passed the crash test certification, and the weight is nearly 50% lighter than the traditional parts. As HP continues to validate production applications with partners and customers, it will move towards wider commercial Metal Jet availability in 2022.
"Our early Metal Jet partners and customers, such as GKN, Parmatech, Volkswagen, Cobra Golf, etc., are successfully demonstrating our metal mass production advantages," said Ramon Pastor, global head of HP's 3D metal business. "As we continue to advance our technologies, materials and capabilities, we are still expected to launch in 2022. We look forward to providing industry-leading efficiency, cost savings and design freedom to help the industry accelerate and expand digital manufacturing."
In addition to displaying various HP Metal Jet components on Formnext, HP and GKN will also hold a show called "HP Metal Jet Technology Value-Added Capabilities on the TCT Introductory Stage in Hall 12.0 at 2pm on November 18th. "s meeting. HP Metal Jet is also a finalist in the 2021 Purmundus Challenge. Learn more about the future of metal 3D printing here.
HP and its customers and partners will showcase innovative components and applications at the HP booth, and hold multiple Formnext conferences during the introduction phase of TCT, including:
November 16th at 2 pm: HP and Oechsler meeting "Oechsler using HP Multi Jet Fusion Manufacturing Journey" November 17th at 2 pm: HP and OT4 meeting "3D printing and customizable perfect fit orthosis" November 11 am on the 19th: HP and EVEREX engineering "reimagine medical equipment"
