MatterHackers recently welcomed customers, engineers, manufacturers, and industry professionals to our headquarters for a special open house focused on HP Inc. Multi Jet Fusion technology, bringing together experts and innovators for a full day of additive manufacturing education, live discussion, and production insight.

The day began with presentations from HP and MatterHackers specialists who explained how Multi Jet Fusion continues to redefine industrial 3D printing by delivering high-strength nylon parts, exceptional dimensional accuracy, fast build speeds, and repeatable production performance. Guests explored how HP’s powder-bed fusion process enables support-free part production, strong isotropic mechanical properties, and efficient nested builds that make additive manufacturing practical for both prototyping and full-scale production.

Attendees then toured the MatterHackers production facility, where they saw firsthand how industrial additive manufacturing systems integrate into real manufacturing workflows—from design preparation and nesting strategy to post-processing and finished parts. Throughout the event, conversations between engineers, designers, and manufacturing leaders highlighted how additive manufacturing is no longer just for prototyping—it is now an essential production tool across aerospace, automotive, robotics, healthcare, and consumer product development.

With tacos, refreshments, and technical discussions continuing throughout the day, the open house created a welcoming environment to learn, ask questions, and explore where advanced manufacturing is headed

HP Machines Highlighted During the Open House

HP Inc. Jet Fusion 5600 Series: Built for Predictable Production

The HP Jet Fusion 5600 was one of the major systems discussed because it represents HP’s push toward highly predictable industrial production. This machine is engineered for manufacturers that need repeatable part quality across multiple builds, reduced downtime, and highly stable output for end-use production.

It offers a 340 x 160 x 120 mm effective build volume, 1200 dpi print resolution, and production speeds up to 3,466 cm³ per hour, allowing manufacturers to produce large quantities of nylon parts quickly while maintaining part consistency. The 5600 is especially valuable for companies producing fixtures, housings, clips, brackets, and customer-ready end-use parts because its calibration systems and process controls improve repeatability from one build to the next.

For businesses looking to scale additive manufacturing into reliable production, the 5600 offers one of the strongest paths into repeatable manufacturing with industrial confidence.

HP Inc. Jet Fusion 5420W: White Part Production for Premium Applications

The HP Jet Fusion 5420W generated strong interest because it solves a major limitation in powder-bed printing: producing true white parts directly from the printer.

This machine is optimized for industries where surface appearance, post-processing flexibility, and clean part presentation matter, including healthcare, orthotics, consumer goods, and product design. Its ability to produce bright white parts makes dyeing, painting, and cosmetic finishing far easier than traditional gray nylon workflows.

The 5420W also maintains HP’s signature benefits: excellent isotropy, sharp edges, dimensional consistency, and support-free builds, allowing companies to manufacture production-ready components that also look presentation-ready. For companies producing consumer-facing parts, medical models, or premium prototypes, this machine offers enormous visual and workflow advantages.
