HP announced that its Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) technology has crossed the 10 million parts produced milestone specifically for automotive applications, underscoring the technology's transition from prototyping tool to volume production platform in vehicle manufacturing.
Production Applications
The 10 million parts include functional components such as air ventilation system brackets, cable guides, center console components, and custom storage solutions. HP's PA12 material has received broad adoption for its consistent mechanical properties and batch-to-batch repeatability required by automotive quality systems.
Automotive OEM Adoption
HP reports that 23 automotive OEMs and over 100 Tier-1 suppliers now use MJF technology in production workflows. Notable applications include batch sizes ranging from 100 to 50,000 parts per year, with the technology increasingly competing against injection molding for medium-volume production runs.
Speed and Cost Improvements
HP's latest MJF 5420W system offers 3x faster print speeds compared to first-generation machines, significantly reducing per-part costs for automotive production volumes. The company's voxel-level control enables functional gradations in part properties within a single build, opening new design possibilities for automotive engineers.
Future Roadmap
HP indicated that its next-generation MJF platform, scheduled for announcement in late 2026, will target metal 3D printing applications, potentially expanding the technology's reach into automotive powertrain and chassis components requiring metal materials.
