Technology Multi Jet Fusion
Multi Jet Fusion is an additive manufacturing method invented and developed by Hewlett-Packard (HP). Create parts through additive manufacturing technology with a multi-agent print job. During this process a fusion agent is applied to a layer of material where the particles are intended to fuse together. Next, a detail agent is applied to create precise details and smooth surfaces. Finally, the area is exposed to a source of light that will generate reactions between the agents and the material in order to fuse the material and to create the part. At the end of the printing process, the print bucket is removed from the printer and an operator carefully extracts the parts and then removes the remaining powder with brushes and aerators. FAMA3D uses the best HP Multi Jet Fusion 3D printers with PA12 printing material.
This 3D printing technology is 10 times faster than FDM or SLS technologies, so it’s the perfect choice for prototyping but especially for small-medium production batches. Multi Jet Fusion is able to create a complex and highly detailed design in no time. Multi Jet Fusion plastic is great for both novice designers and experienced professionals due to its high precision and low cost. The main advantages of Multi Jet Fusion technology are the high customization possibilities and rapid production times. With our 3D ONLINE printing service, you can have access to Professional Multi Jet Fusion printers to print your parts, without having to worry about the operation or maintenance of the machines. You’ll receive your 3D prints, perfect, fast and ready to be used.
The raw material we use is a fine polyamide powder called PA12: it’s a strong thermoplastic capable of producing high-quality components. It is characterized by good elasticity and high shock resistance, as well as the best mechanical strength among all 3D printing materials. The Multijet Fusion PA12 material has the ability to print very complex designs, even one within the other, such as chain rings that do not require assembly or support structures.

In addition, polyamide (PA12) has an excellent corrosion resistance to chemicals. PA12 objects also withstand scratches and abrasions, are biocompatible, withstand weathering and are stabilized to U.V. light. As soon as the production is finished, the 3D printed parts with Multijet Fusion PA12 are gray. This option is called “raw gray”, which is the cheapest option that can be selected. Three other finishing options are available: the pieces can be dyed matte black, sandblasted until a charcoal gray is obtained or be painted with any RAL color (minimum order required). You can also paste the printed details in PA12 via cyanocrylate, call us or write to us for more information on possible post-processing features. Here you can see three versions of the same object: the one on the right is raw, the one in the center is charcoal gray, the one on the left is dyed matte black.
