High-Quality Parts Produced Fast
with Multi Jet Fusion 3D Printing (MJF)

Similar to Injection Molded Parts // MJF can produce parts with a density similar to plastic injection molded parts. They can be processed and machined in similar ways. That makes MJF parts perfect for bridge production.

Print Multiple Parts in a Single Build // Because the powdered material serves as a support structure for the parts as they’re being fabricated, parts can be stacked in the Z direction, enabling you to get more parts out of each build.

Fine Detail // MJF produces thinner layers than SLS and other 3D printing methods, which means MJF parts can incorporate finer detail than some other additive manufacturing techniques.

Affordable // Because of its superior printing speed, MJF is cost-effective for prototyping and low-production parts (up to about 1,000 pieces).

Complex Geometries // Fathom’s MJF printing service can be used to print highly detailed and dimensionally accurate parts. That makes it well-suited for producing functional prototypes and end-use parts with unique shapes.

Excellent Surface Finish // Because MJF uses a thin layer structure, it offers one of the smoothest surface finishes of any 3D printing technology.

Produce a Large Volume of Parts Quickly // Multiple parts can be produced at the same time in a single build.

Excellent Mechanical Properties // Parts produced using MJF have excellent isotropic mechanical properties.

Removable Build Volumes // Parts and their build platform can be removed from the printer for cooling. Meanwhile, another build volume can be installed so the printer can begin producing more parts. This unique design enables high-volume production of parts.

More Sustainable // Up to 80% of the powder from MJF prints can be recycled in subsequent prints, more than with SLS.

Limited Material Selections // Because MJF is a process that’s proprietary to HP, you’re restricted to their materials – Nylon 11 and 12.

Limited Color Options // Parts produced with MJF have a dark gray color, which limits your ability to recolor them.

Avoid Long & Thin Part Features // They are susceptible to non-uniform cooling, which may cause warpage.

MJF can be used for bridge production – ideal if you’re waiting for your injection mold tooling to be completed – and for small to medium-sized production runs. MJF can be used to quickly and affordably create functional prototypes for new product designs that will later be produced using injection molding.

With our cross-functional engineering expertise, our MJF printing service can help you tweak your part designs so they work well in both environments.

Multi Jet Fusion 3D printing can be used to build part designs that aren’t possible using traditional manufacturing methods such as CNC machining and sheet metal fabrication.

It also enables fast, low-cost production of prototype and limited-run production parts – without tooling.

Vapor Smoothing

Fathom offers AMT’s PostPro3D technology, a smart and automated post-processing solution, as part of our MJF printing service. PostPro3D can achieve a high-quality surface finish that matches injection molding techniques when using 3D printing processes.
