Siemens has announced it is collaborating with HP Inc. to develop new solutions to transform additive manufacturing (AM) from a prototyping tool to full production utilisation. The new technology will enable 3D printing of functional production parts that can be made from multiple materials in multiple colors. The new additive manufacturing offering will help drive the new and scalable Multi Jet Fusion technology and new HP Jet Fusion 3D printers. This combination will help enable designers and engineers to create products that go beyond today's production limitations and that can be manufactured at greatly increased speeds using 3D printing. Siemens' new additive manufacturing offering will leverage the company's comprehensive end-to-end design to production technology suite. Together with HP Multi Jet Fusion technology it is intended to allow unprecedented print control, including material characteristics down to the voxel-level, at speeds up to ten times faster and at half the cost of current 3D print systems. (A "voxel" is essentially a 3D pixel.)
