During RAPID + TCT 2025, HP unveiled several significant advancements in their 3D printing capabilities. This included the public release of a new halogen-free flame-retardant material developed in partnership with Evonik. This sustainable HP 3D High Reusability PA 12 FR material offers 60% reusability, reducing total cost of ownership by 20% and carbon emissions by 10% while meeting safety and flammability standards.
The company also showcased innovative applications of their technology across multiple sectors. Their AI Text to 3D Solution demonstrates the ability to transform simple text prompts into detailed, printable 3D files, making design more accessible to non-engineers. In healthcare, HP collaborated with VA Puget Sound, Red Duke Strategies, and Radii Devices to create personalized 3D printed prosthetic sockets for veterans.
In the industrial sector, Eaton utilized HP's MultiJet Fusion technology paired with the Nylon PA12 material to produce a custom locking solution known as the Circuit Protector Lock-On Device, that ensures critical circuits remain in the "on" position. By leveraging HP's technology, Eaton was able to cut costs compared to using traditional manufacturing methods.
These developments collectively demonstrate HP's commitment to advancing additive manufacturing with solutions that combine performance, sustainability, and economic efficiency while making the technology more accessible across industries.
