Design Guidelines: Multi Jet Fusion
Our basic guidelines for Multi Jet Fusion include important design considerations to help improve part manufacturability, enhance cosmetic appearance, and reduce overall production time.
Size
Maximum Dimensions
| Normal Resolution | 284mm x 380mm x 380mm* |
|---|
Accuracy
| Layer Thickness | 80 microns |
|---|---|
| Minimum Feature Size | 0.5mm |
For well-designed parts, tolerances of ±0.25mm plus ±0.002mm/mm can typically be achieved. Note that tolerances may change depending on part geometry.
Materials
We offer a commercial-grade unfilled PA 12 Black material that creates durable parts with consistent mechanical properties. A standard dyed black color is offered.
Surface Finishes
| STANDARD | A bead blast removes all powder and leaves a consistent overall texture. Parts are then dyed a standard black colour. |
|---|---|
| CUSTOM |
Secondary options include a primer that can be applied as well as taps and inserts. |
Equipment
We use HP Jet Fusion 3D 4200 machines that are capable of accelerated build speeds when compared to other powder-based additive manufacturing technology. The HP 3D printers produce commercial-grade parts with enhanced surface finishes and improved mechanical properties compared to other 3D printing technology.
