Can Multi Jet Fusion 3D Printing Be Qualified for Production?

Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) is a relatively new additive manufacturing technology which is great for creating functional prototypes — but can it be qualified for production?Here, we examine the properties that make MJF suitable for production. The same qualities that make it attractive for prototyping also give it numerous advantages as an option for production: No tooling cost – Unlike injection molding, no tooling is required to make parts with Multi Jet Fusion. Short lead time – There is no waiting for tooling to be built, since parts are made directly from the...
