What is MJF and Why Choose It?
Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) is an advanced 3D printing technology that builds parts layer by layer using a powder-bed process. Developed by HP, MJF stands out for its speed, precision, and ability to produce functional parts with consistent mechanical properties. It’s an excellent choice for both prototyping and production, delivering high accuracy, smooth surface finishes, and fast turnaround times.
Why choose MJF?
- High Precision: Exceptional detail and tight tolerances for complex geometries.
- Smooth Finishes: Professional-grade surfaces straight from the printer.
- Fast Production: Rapid build times for prototypes and small-batch production.
- Consistent Properties: Uniform strength and durability across parts, perfect for functional applications.
Materials Available for MJF
Wellan provides a variety of MJF materials tailored to different project requirements:
- General Purpose Plastics: Nylon 12—great for prototypes, visual models, and cost-effective solutions.
- Engineering Plastics: Nylon 11—offers improved strength and durability for functional components.
- High-Performance Plastics: PPS (Polyphenylene Sulfide) and PPU (Polyphenylsulfone)—suited for demanding applications with high mechanical and thermal needs.
- Specialty Plastics: TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane)—flexible and elastic, ideal for parts like seals, gaskets, or wearables.
