Look inside HP Multi Jet Fusion, find Intel. The Intel Core i7 family of processors has been selected by HP to enable next gen 3D printing.
Intel Corporation has been chosen by HP to provide the silicon architecture for HP Multi Jet Fusion. This breakthrough technology is engineered to resolve critical gaps in speed, quality and cost, and realise the transformative potential of 3D printing.
HP Multi Jet Fusion was introduced early in November last year as part of its Blended Reality ecosystem, which is built to ‘transform manufacturing’ across industries by delivering systems that it says are 10x faster than the best technology on the market today, with better quality, increased productivity, and breakthrough economics, by enabling 3D production of parts.
Dion Weisler, executive vice president, HP printing & personal systems (PPS), explained, “HP Multi Jet Fusion is uniquely designed to resolve fundamental limitations in today’s 3D printing technologies with the potential to revolutionise manufacturing. In order for 3D printing to reach its full potential, we not only need the most powerful processors, but a technology partner with a shared vision for the industry.”
Intel Core i7 processors will be integrated into HP Multi Jet Fusion technology and used in agile product testing with customers as part of HP’s Open Customer Collaboration Program throughout 2015. Wider distribution of the HP 3D Print system will begin in 2016.
“Our companies share a long history of innovation and a vision to deliver innovative 3D computing experiences that transform the way people interact with and use technology for work and play. The combination of Intel architecture with HP’s Multi jet Fusion technology will help to accelerate not only the speed of 3D printing but the availability of the technology to consumers and enterprises alike,” Brian Krzanich, chief executive of Intel, added.
Intel Core i7 Processors power other facets of HP’s Blended Reality ecosystem, including Sprout by HP, the computing platform that combines multiple devices – a scanner, hi-resolution camera, Intel RealSense 3D Camera, projector -into a single device, allowing users to replicate physical items in a digital workspace.
