MJF technology HP Multi Jet Fusion technology offers control over part and material properties and speed advantages beyond those found in other 3D printing technologies. The HP MJF printing process begins by depositing a thin layer of material in the printer's work area. Next, the carriage containing an HP Thermal Inkjet array passes over the full work area, printing chemical fusing and detailing agents. During another pass of the carriage, the work area is exposed to fusing energy, which bonds part layers together. The process continues, layer-by-layer, until a complete part is formed. ● The material is recoated across the work area. ● A fusing agent (F) is selectively applied where the particles are to fuse together. ● A detailing agent (D) is selectively applied where the fusing action needs to be reduced or amplified. In this example, the detailing agent reduces fusing at the boundary to produce a part with sharp and smooth edges. ● The work area is exposed to fusing energy. ● The part now consists of fused and unfused areas. The process is repeated until the complete part has been formed. NOTE: The sequence of steps above is typical, but may be changed in specific hardware implementations. By leveraging proven HP Thermal Inkjet technology and HP's in-depth technical knowledge of rapidly and accurately placing precise, minute quantities of multiple types of fluids, MJF enables customers to produce highly detailed parts and prototypes. As agents are deposited point-by-point across each cross-section of each part, MJF technology can transform part properties at each voxel, or volumetric pixel. With MJF technology, HP will enable customers to realize the full potential of 3D printing. Usage recommendations 2 Chapter 1 Welcome to your MJF system

MJF technology
HP Multi Jet Fusion technology offers control over part and material properties and speed advantages beyond
those found in other 3D printing technologies.
The HP MJF printing process begins by depositing a thin layer of material in the printer’s work area. Next, the
carriage containing an HP Thermal Inkjet array passes over the full work area, printing chemical fusing and
detailing agents. During another pass of the carriage, the work area is exposed to fusing energy, which bonds
part layers together. The process continues, layer-by-layer, until a complete part is formed.
●
The material is recoated across the work area.
●
A fusing agent (F) is selectively applied where the particles are to fuse together.
●
A detailing agent (D) is selectively applied where the fusing action needs to be reduced or amplified. In
this example, the detailing agent reduces fusing at the boundary to produce a part with sharp and smooth
edges.
●
The work area is exposed to fusing energy.
●
The part now consists of fused and unfused areas.
The process is repeated until the complete part has been formed.
NOTE:
The sequence of steps above is typical, but may be changed in specific hardware implementations.
By leveraging proven HP Thermal Inkjet technology and HP’s in-depth technical knowledge of rapidly and
accurately placing precise, minute quantities of multiple types of fluids, MJF enables customers to produce highly
