What is MJF 3D printing?
HP Multi Jet Fusion technology is a advanced evolution of powder bed additive manufacturing.
Unlike SLS, the MJF does not use a laser, employment of fusion agents and details together with a heat source that is applied uniformly over the entire surface, achieving:
- More production speed.
- Better homogeneity in finishes and mechanical properties.
- Greater precision in details, thin walls and complex geometries.
The MJF makes it possible to manufacture functional prototypes and end-use parts, with properties comparable to - and in many cases superior to - those obtained by injection moulding.
Advantages and disadvantages of MJF 3D Printing
We want to help you
to make informed decisions
Advantages of MJF Technology
- Unbeatable speed: The HP 5620 can produce parts up to 10 times faster than other powder bed technologies, resulting in shorter lead times and increased competitiveness.
- Industrial repeatability: The manufactured parts maintain uniform mechanical properties throughout the production volume. Batch-to-batch consistency is one of the big reasons why major brands rely on this technology.
- Very high precision in detail: The combination of detailing agents and controlled heat allows for very thin walls, sharp edges and more uniform surfaces. Perfect for mechanical components, gears, housings, functional prototypes and small series.
- Sustainability and efficiency: With Arkema's PA12 S material, it is possible to recycle up to 90% of the dust, reducing costs and minimising environmental impact.
- Production without media: As with SLS, the powder bed acts as a natural support, allowing impossible geometries to be fabricated without additional structures.
Disadvantages of MJF Technology
- High investmentThe cost of MJF equipment is higher than other technologies, so few companies can offer it. At Additium 3D we make it accessible at competitive prices.
- Post-processing requiredDust extraction and finishing processes are required if a more aesthetic result is desired.
- Technical learning curve: Technology requires expertise to optimise orientations, select thicknesses, control densities and filling and ensure repeatability.

HP MJF TECHNOLOGY
High-quality industrial finishing with HP Multi Jet Fusion Technology
What materials does Additium3D use in MJF 3D printing?
Multi Jet Fusion's flagship material
In our HP Multi Jet Fusion technology we work with Polyamide 12 S (Arkema), one of the most versatile and reliable materials in the industry. It is designed to withstand demanding conditions, maintain dimensional stability and deliver repeatable results even in continuous production. That's why it's the material of choice for industrial applications where the strength and precision are non-negotiable.
Polyamide 12 S (Arkema)
The PA12 S combines excellent mechanical strength with high durability and thermal stability, as well as superior recyclability to 90%, making it a sustainable choice in additive manufacturing. Its final surface is uniform, solid and has a very clean finish, ideal for both functional prototypes and production runs.

"One of the few companies that is a pleasure to work with. Thank you for your services. I will certainly continue to use your services (...)".
Néstor Grande
Art Director at Montiego
ADDITIUM 3D has done some exceptional printing work for me. They scanned my parts and printed them in superior quality.
They have also printed pieces downloaded from public libraries which have been very useful for my models and scale models. They are fast in execution and delivery.

Frequently asked questions
MJF 3D PRINTING FAQS
MJF refers to Multi Jet Fusion, HP's industrial 3D printing technology enables the production of parts with high precision, excellent finish and productivity far superior to other technologies.
MJF stands for Multi Jet Fusion, an additive manufacturing process based on melting and detailing agents that are applied to powder (mainly polyamide), achieving uniform, resistant and dimensionally stable parts.
It depends on what you need:
- SLS offers very good versatility and is ideal for prototyping and production of parts with complex geometries without supports.
- MJF stands out for its productivity, dimensional stability and a more uniform surface finish, and also allows for large series with higher repeatability.
For many industrial companies, MJF is currently the preferred choice for producing to scale and maintaining consistency in every part..
At Additium3D we will guide you on which technology is best suited to your case.
In practice, none.
- FFF (Fused Filament Fabrication) is the original name of the open process.
- FDM (Fused Deposition Modelling) is the registered name of Stratasys.
Both describe the same thing: a printer that melts filament and deposits it layer by layer.
A layer of powder is deposited, melting and detailing agents are applied with precision and solidified by uniform heat. The process is repeated layer by layer.
Primarily PA12 S, although versions are available in PA11, TPU and advanced materials depending on industrial applications.
