When in the autumn 2014 HP announced that it started to work also in 3D printing industry and presented their 3D printer, printing in innovative technology Multi Jet Fusion, we could have think, that we were wintesses of a revolution. However, the next months showed, that it’s rather not a breakthrough… it’s some kind of a mexican soap opera from for housewives.
HP was devided into two separate companies and wants to carry on a restructuring, invest a lot of money in a research center focused on 3D and 4D technology in Spain and to proclaim a lot of declarations about it, how important is 3D printing for long term plans of the enterprise.
From the beginning of January 2016, during conference of Autodesk, HP lifted a veil of secrecy, however paradoxically, it evoked even more questions and hestitations… A 3D printer should have been available from 2017 (not from 2016, according to the company’s declarations…) and it should have had limited functions. But in the recent interview with in magazine ComputerWorld, Steve Nigro – HP’s senior vice president of imaging and printig, claimed, that everything was going accorting to the plan and that the premiere would be started in this year. Does anyone control it?
The technology MJF should work as followed:
What do we know?
Nigro declared that:
What’s more, Ponadto Nigro repeated/confirmed absolute majority of information about this 3D printer and MJF technology. In the next week, HP is planning to present its project during conference “South by South West” (SXSW) in Austin in the USA. I’m waiting for more precise information, because I’m fed up with statments about MJF which is better than another technologies… And I want to know also a date of the premiere of the device.
