S1E53 Production Manufacturing with HP’s Multijet Fusion 3D Printer | Jacob Moss

Being an Engineer · 27 Nov 2020 · 41m · Episode 53

What this episode covers

Jacob Moss, Director of Sales and Marketing at Athena 3D Manufacturing, explains how HP’s Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) technology enables low-volume production of complex parts without the tooling costs of injection molding. He details the powder-based process, which fuses material in all three axes to create isotropic parts, and highlights its suitability for producing hundreds to thousands of units. Moss contrasts MJF with FDM and SLS technologies, noting its speed, material options like nylon and TPU, and the importance of designing for density to manage thermal constraints. He also discusses the business case for using MJF as a bridge between prototyping and full-scale manufacturing, emphasizing cost savings on hidden supply chain expenses like mold storage and setup fees.

    3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing with Steve Szymeczek of Penumbra Engineering

    Steve Szymeczek of Penumbra Engineering explains the practical applications of additive manufacturing for low-to-medium volume production, contrasting it with traditional injection molding. He details the cost-effectiveness of technologies like FDM and HP Multi-Jet Fusion for startups needing 100 to 10,000 units, emphasizing the importance of designing for injection molding even when using 3D printing for prototyping. Szymeczek also discusses the benefits of distributed manufacturing, material limitations, and the role of generative design in creating complex, value-added parts.

    S2 E5: Rapid Prototyping Deep Dive with Greg Paulsen

    Greg Paulsen, Director of Applications, Engineering and Marketing at Xometry, discusses the complexities of rapid prototyping and the transition to mass production. He details the pros and cons of various 3D printing technologies, including filament-based FDM, powder bed fusion (SLS, MJF), and resin-based methods (SLA, DLS), explaining how each affects design constraints and scalability. Paulsen highlights common hardware horror stories, such as designing for 3D printing without considering injection molding requirements, leading to prohibitive costs and tooling issues. He emphasizes the importance of clear communication with manufacturers and using AI-driven tools to optimize designs for manufacturability early in the process.

    193: 3D Printing Overview for New Inventions

    Andre Tiemann, Director of Production at Hot Pop Factory, explains how 3D printing serves as a critical tool for hardware startups across three stages: rough ideation, engineering prototyping, and short-run manufacturing. He details the evolution of materials from early ABS to modern engineering-grade plastics like Nylon and Rigid 10K, and contrasts processes like FDM, SLA, and SLS. Tiemann emphasizes that using additive manufacturing for low-volume production (50-500 units) de-risks product launches by allowing market validation and customer feedback before committing to expensive injection molding tooling.

    083: Benefits of Additive Manufacturing for New Inventions

    Steve Grundahl, founder of Midwest Prototyping, explains how additive manufacturing enables 'pop-up manufacturing' for startups, allowing them to produce small batches without the high capital risk of injection molding tooling. He argues that early production runs should be viewed as a feedback mechanism rather than a profit center, using real user data to validate demand before committing to expensive tooling. Grundahl highlights that additive manufacturing allows for complex geometries and rapid design iteration, making it ideal for products with short life cycles or frequent updates, such as GoPro accessories.

    The Arrival of High-Volume Metal Additive Manufacturing w/ James DeMuth

    James DeMuth, Co-Founder & CEO of Seurat Technologies, explains how his company’s 'area printing' technology disrupts metal additive manufacturing by increasing throughput to compete with conventional methods like casting and machining. He details the technical limitations of legacy laser powder bed fusion, such as speed and variability, and describes Seurat’s parallel laser approach that reduces production time from years to days. DeMuth discusses the economic implications for US manufacturing, arguing that high-volume additive can reshape supply chains by enabling local production and reducing inventory, while calling for public-private partnerships to counter Chinese subsidies.
