HP Enters the 3D Printing Market
At the 2016 Rapid conference held this week in Orlando, Florida, HP presented its new 3D printing system based on an in-house technology developed in Sant Cugat, just two steps away from Barcelona Synchrotron Park, where the large format printing world division of the American multinational is headquartered.

According to HP, the so-called Multi Jet Fusion technology is up to 10 times faster and 2 times cheaper to run than rival systems for small and medium mass production. This technology will be used as an open platform with certified users as printing material or software companies. New printers will be released in two versions at the end of the year (for prototypes and for small-scale production runs).

3D printing has a considerable potential and HP thinks that in few years this business will be more important for the company than the large format one. In this perspective, HP recruited 200 new engineers last year in Sant Cugat and plans to hire 250 more this year.
