HP Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) is a powder-based additive manufacturing technology developed by HP to scale industrial 3D printing from prototype to production. HP Multi Jet Fusion 3D printing combines capabilities found in technologies like Binder Jetting, PolyJet, and Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) to produce strong, detailed parts quickly and efficiently.
This digital manufacturing platform allows manufacturers to produce durable nylon components and other thermoplastic parts with excellent accuracy and surface finish. In addition to production components, HP MJF 3D printing is commonly used for durable prototypes, color parts, living hinges, fit and function testing, and printed assemblies.
The Technology House has the capabilities to manufacture high-quality HP MJF parts for prototypes and production applications. Parts are typically available in as little as three to five days, enabling faster development cycles.
Parts manufactured using HP Multi Jet Fusion 3D printing are produced through an inkjet-style process that deposits fusing and detailing agents to control voxels within the powder bed. These agents are selectively fused into a solid layer, and the process repeats until the entire build is complete.
After the build finishes, the powder bed is cooled and transferred to a processing station where excess powder is removed and recycled.
Similar to SLS, HP MJF additive manufacturing does not require support structures during printing. Unlike fused deposition modeling (FDM) or stereolithography (SLA), parts are built within a powder bed that supports the geometry during the build process.
This ability allows parts to be nested within the build chamber, increasing production efficiency by maximizing build capacity, reducing material usage, and eliminating time-consuming support removal.
In the end, HP MJF parts are production-ready and can be post-processed to achieve custom finishes for applications across industries such as industrial equipment, consumer products, and automotive manufacturing.
HP MJF 3D Printing Benefits
HP MJF Best Uses
These capabilities make HP Multi Jet Fusion ideal for both rapid prototyping and production manufacturing.
From design to prototype and production, our team of engineers is ready to help bring your idea to life with HP Multi Jet Fusion 3D printing and advanced additive manufacturing technologies.
HP MJF manufacturing builds parts using thermoplastic materials such as Nylon PA11, Nylon PA12, Glass Filled Nylon, PP, and TPU.
The most widely used material is Nylon PA12, available in both white and gray. This thermoplastic produces high-density, complex parts with excellent chemical resistance and dimensional accuracy.
When printing white or gray PA12 components, manufacturers benefit from strong consistency, uniformity, and repeatability from the first part to the last. White PA12 is especially useful for applications in medical devices and consumer products, as well as parts requiring vibrant post-processing color finishes.
The HP Multi Jet Fusion process also supports sustainability by refreshing the powder with recycled material to reduce production costs while maintaining part performance.

White parts can be custom finished to match prototype or production requirements through processes such as:
HP Jet Fusion 5200 3D Printer
The HP Jet Fusion 5200 printer features a build volume of 380 × 284 × 380 mm (15” × 11.2” × 15”), large enough to produce most production and prototype parts.
A key advantage is its speed—a full build can print in roughly half a day and can be densely packed with multiple parts without support structures. This makes it ideal for both HP MJF 3D printing prototypes and scaled production runs.
Parts larger than the build volume can be sectioned into multiple pieces and assembled during post-processing.
The system is configured for production with multiple cooling stations and a processing station, allowing continuous operation while completed builds cool and parts are post-processed.
HP Jet Fusion 5420W
The HP Jet Fusion 5420W delivers consistent white parts with strong repeatability across production runs.
This printer is ideal for engineering-grade white production parts used in applications such as:
The 5420W shares the same build volume of 380 × 284 × 380 mm and provides predictable print times for a wide range of geometries, without requiring support structures.
This HP Multi Jet Fusion 3D printing system delivers high-quality parts with excellent dimensional accuracy while maintaining low operational costs.
