Our Capabilities
Our basic guidelines for Multi-Jet Fusion include important design considerations to help improve part manufacturability, enhance appearance, and reduce overall production time. For well-designed parts, tolerances of +/- 0.012″ (0.30 mm) are typically achievable, with the tolerance increasing by 0.1% of nominal length for each additional inch. Please note that tolerances may vary based on part geometry. Larger parts (>7″) and parts with thin thicknesses are most susceptible to warping. We recommend maintaining a uniform thickness of 0.125″ (3.175 mm) to ensure stability.
- Minimum wall thickness: 0.020″
- Accuracy: +/-0.012” or +/-0.2%, whichever is greater
- Resolution: 0.004″
- Build unit bed size: 15″ x 11.2″ x 15″
- Large parts can be split and bonded

Traditional Technologies That Can Benefit from MJF
If you’re interested in an injection molding project, it’s a good idea to get a 3D printed “test” part before investing in a metal mold. While the SLA printing process is great for printing extremely detailed and high-resolution models, UV-cured resins aren’t as tough as traditional thermoplastics. Prints begin to degrade when exposed to UV light and moisture. Multi Jet Fusion, on the other hand, can print extremely accurate models while maintaining the structural durability of traditional thermoplastics, especially when using glass-filled nylon. This makes it a great way to test the fit and functionality of a project before committing it to injection molding.

Low-Volume Production & Inventory Management
More than just prototypes, MJF is an excellent choice for initial production runs or other low-volume production runs. Due to their unique design possibilities, 3D printed parts offer manufacturers a variety of opportunities to reduce costs and improve functionality, whether by combining multi-piece components into a single part, reducing part weight with internal lattice structures, or employing just-in-time (JIT) production to reduce inventory and operating costs. MJF 3D printing can even help you extend product lifecycles by providing affordable, on-demand production of replacement parts, eliminating unnecessary large numbers of replacement parts and their associated inventory. Likewise, MJF parts can easily replace discontinued or expensive replacement parts in existing equipment. These parts can even be customized to improve their functionality.

Quality Control & Traceability
Ensuring control and traceability throughout the manufacturing process is critical, and every step, from quote request to delivery, is closely monitored to ensure flawless production. First, we send an engineering request to obtain a quote, followed by a contract review to ensure compliance. Once an agreement is reached, we maintain full production traceability, including manufacturing, materials, parameters, and inspection. Projects are tracked throughout the manufacturing process, including tracking of the finishing process, and final inspection before packaging and shipping to ensure on-time delivery. Whether using traditional or additive manufacturing, it is critical to trace the original construction and materials of the part. From inquiry to delivery, our entire process is strictly monitored to ensure the quality of the part.
Inspection Equipment
Our commitment to quality is unwavering, and we invest in specialized inspection equipment to ensure the parts we manufacture are of exceptional quality. Single contact measurements are accurate to ±0.0010 inches, volume measurements are accurate to ±0.0019 inches, and laser line scan measurements are accurate to ±0.0010 inches. We maintain strict standards to ensure accurate evaluation of part dimensions and features.
Alternatives to MJF 3D Printing
If isotropic mechanical properties are not a primary consideration for your part, then opting for Laser Sintering (SLS) is a viable alternative. If you want parts that can be dyed or painted in a wider range of colors, SLS or PolyJet may be a better choice. If you want to choose from a wider variety of materials, SLS or FDM may be worth a look.
Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) 3D Printed Parts Provider
Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) technology helps you accelerate your project’s time to market with unprecedented speed and material selection in additive manufacturing. Each MJF printer used by Elimold is calibrated to print up to 40,000 unique production parts per week. In the past, engineers have struggled to choose between functional parts (SLS and FDM) and surface parts (SLA and PolyJet). MJF combines the best of both worlds to deliver functional, surface-finishing parts. MJF uses a fusing agent and detailing agent on powdered Nylon 12 build areas, and infrared lamps to fuse entire layers in one go, producing functional, geometrically complex parts in 0.005-inch layers at a time – with mechanical properties comparable to injection molded parts.

What is Multi Jet Fusion
HP Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) is a powder bed fusion 3D printing process similar to Selective Laser Sintering (SLS). Instead of using a laser as a heat source (like SLS), MJF uses HP’s proprietary inkjet technology to fuse layers of powder. This advanced 3D printing technology selectively applies fusing and detailing agents to deliver and control the thermal energy of infrared heating lamps. The build process is repeated for each layer of powder until the part is printed. Each layer of powder acts as support, so complex parts with lattice structures, overhangs, and undercuts can be produced without support structures.
After the build cycle is complete, the part is moved to a machining station to cool and an integrated vacuum is used to extract most of the loose powder. The part is then sandblasted to remove any residual powder. Finishing and post-processing techniques can then be applied to improve the appearance and performance of MJF parts, such as surface smoothing, DeepDye coloring, engineered coatings, or heat-set inserts.
MJF produces resilient end-use parts and functional prototypes with excellent resolution, surface finish, and edge definition. HP Multi Jet Fusion 3D Printing is ten times faster than Selective Laser Sintering, enabling production-grade manufacturing and customization without expensive tooling.
What Are The Benefits Of MJF?
Multi Jet Fusion technology offers a wide range of 3D printing materials with excellent mechanical properties. HP Multi Jet Fusion technology is an ideal alternative to SLS if you need to produce functional prototypes or low-volume production of end-use parts. MJF is ideal if you need to create components with complex patterns that also contain tiny features that must be durable. Unlike 3D printing technologies such as SLA or FDM, with HP MJF you do not need to provide supports for your parts. Because parts nest efficiently within the build volume, powder bed systems do not require supports.
Increased Competitive Advantage Throughout Product Life Cycles
The high speed and low cost of Multi Jet Fusion 3D printing makes it possible to add value at every stage of your product life cycles. Beginning with product development, MJF can quickly print functional prototypes and proofs of concept, allowing you to take your product through more iterations in less time and get to market even faster. This developmental advantage also translates to other manufacturing technologies: MJF can create durable tooling for thermoformed or cast urethane parts in a fraction of the time and cost of traditional methods.
