Frankfurt, Germany, November 18, 2025 - Today at Formnext 2025, HP Additive Manufacturing Solutions (HP AM) announced a series of new innovations and collaborations that further its mission to accelerate the adoption of additive manufacturing (AM) across industries. At the heart of this mission is HP's goal to simplify complexity and enable creativity by empowering engineers, designers and creators with the right tools to design and produce better anywhere.

Over the past decade, HP Additive Manufacturing Solutions has consistently lowered the cost per part across its industrial-grade Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) portfolio to help customers bring more applications into production.
Building on this momentum, HP is introducing new material innovations, expanding its industrial portfolio, and strengthening its ecosystem partnerships to make industrial-grade additive manufacturing more cost-efficient, scalable, and accessible than ever before.

Lowering Total Cost of Ownership to Accelerate Industrial Adoption

Building on a decade of innovation, HP AM is on track to lower cost per part by up to 20% through a combination of new innovations and digital manufacturing initiatives. This focus on productivity and efficiency is part of HP's broader commitment to transform the future of work, freeing up engineers and manufacturers to spend more time designing, creating, and innovating, rather than managing complexity.
Key advancements, including the development of new materials and optimized print recipes, will bring HP productivity one step ahead, enabling quicker production cycles which will further reduce cost per part and improve workflow efficiency for cost-sensitive applications.

Reinforcing HP's commitment to increasing adoption and lowering cost per part through material innovation, HP AM has confirmed thegeneral availability date ofHP 3D HR PA 11 Gen2, advancing sustainable, high-performance polymer production on the MJF platform. The material offers up to 80% powder reusability and up to 40% lower variable part costs, achieving the lowest carbon footprint of any MJF material to date, and reducing TCO for high-volume production.

Complementing this vision of connected, digital manufacturing, the new HP Additive Manufacturing Network (AMN) Program is designed to accelerate growth and maximize business potential for part providers around the world. The program is an inclusive, dynamic, data-driven framework that actively supports and delivers tangible rewards to part providers based on their performance, capabilities and collaboration, and ensures that active participation is recognized.

Scaling HP Metal Jet Adoption with New Materials and Collaborations

HP AM is strengthening its Metal Jet ecosystem through new material qualifications and industry collaborations that unlock new possibilities for engineers and accelerate a future where creativity and innovation thrive hand in hand. Continuum Powders and INDO-MIM Inc. have qualified OptiPowder Ni718 for use on the HP Metal Jet S100, achieving sintered components with over 98% density, consistent hardness (74-79 HR15N), and precise carbon control, confirming its readiness for aerospace, defense, and energy applications.

Building on this success, HP AM Solutions, in collaboration with Continuum Powders and TECNALIA, is advancing the development of OptiPowder M247LC, a low-carbon, nickel-based superalloy designed for high-temperature applications where both strength and corrosion resistance are essential, making it an excellent fit for aerospace and energy sectors. Once qualified, the framework will extend to include additional high-performance nickel specialty alloys, further advancing binder jet technology as a scalable and production-ready solution.

HP AM is also collaborating with theAdditive Manufacturing Teamat GKN Powder Metallurgy to expand access to copper applications, enabling production of advanced components for cloud computing, electrification, and thermal management. Leveraging HP Metal Jet technology and GKN's material and production capabilities, in the US and Europe, the collaboration will drive measurable efficiency gains and operational savings at end user data centers, projected in the millions over the next five years.

HP AM Expands Portfolio withHP Industrial Filament 3D Printer Solutions to Drive Adoption

HP AM is expanding its industrial manufacturing portfolio, a strategic move to open new applications in new market spaces, reinforcing HP's belief that when people have the right tools and technologies, they can turn ideas into impact and work into something they truly love.

The expansion brings HP's trusted reliability and deep application expertise to the high-performance filament market, empowering customers in sectors such as aerospace, oil and gas, medical, automotive, railway, and education to produce high-value, production-grade applications with confidence.

The new portfolio broadens HP's ability to serve diverse industrial needs, from engineering and high-temperature materials to precision components and large-format production parts, enabling customers to lower their cost per part and accelerate time to market. Built on an open materials platform and supported by HP's global service network, HP Industrial Filament 3D Printer Solutions give manufacturers the flexibility to innovate with a wide range of polymers and scale intonew applications while maintaining industrial-grade performance.

The first system in this range, the HP Industrial Filament 3D Printer 600 High Temperature (HP IF 600HT), a modular system designed for printing high temperature and engineered filaments, will be available in H1 2026. A second system, the HP Industrial Filament 3D Printer (HP IF 1000 XL) focused on producing large quality parts will be introduced in H2 2026.

HP AM and Würth Additive Group Partner to Simplify Supply Chains Worldwide

As part of the ongoing mission to accelerate the adoption of additive manufacturing across industries, HP AM and Würth Additive Group have teamed up to integrate HP's scalable, quality-assured manufacturing with Würth's Digital Inventory Services (DIS) and global logistics network. This enables manufacturers to shift from physical stock to on-demand spare parts management, anywhere in the world.

By embedding digital inventory directly into Würth's logistics ecosystem, the integration ensures real-time availability and consistent part validation. This collaboration marks the first official implementation of the 3MF Secure Content extension, enabling secure printing workflows directly to HP MJF printers. Together, the two global leaders are making complexity simple by reducing inventory costs, accelerating delivery, and building more resilient, sustainable supply chains worldwide.
