Powered by HP Metal Jet

Stainless Steel 17-4 PH leverages the advanced capabilities of HP Metal Jet S100 3D printing technology. Met Jet 3D printing offers unparalleled benefits including:

High Productivity and Scalability: Unlike MIM, Metal Jet eliminates the need for a debinding process to remove wax, saving up to 20 hours. Furthermore, Metal Jet has multiple printers and build units, enabling continuous production runs and scalability.

Exceptional Resolution: HP Metal Jet offers a print resolution of up to 1200 dpi, allowing 17-4 PH parts to achieve intricate details and fine features without sacrificing strength or mechanical performance.

Reduced Waste and Material Efficiency: HP Metal Jet minimizes material waste by utilizing nearly 100% of the powder during the printing process.

Efficient Material Usage: HP Metal Jet 17-4 PH parts meet or exceed the mechanical properties of metal injection molding (MIM) parts, with ultimate tensile strengths of up to 1277 MPa and hardness ratings reaching 40 HRC.
