Multi Jet Fusion in Manufacturing Applications

Multi Jet Fusion is the latest 3D printing process to hit the market with promises of taking 3D printing into production. The technology has gained attention for reducing manufacturing cycle time and material costs, and early adopters have had success, indicating a larger industry impact. But just like any other manufacturing process, Multi Jet Fusion has nuances that can only be discovered through working with the technology over an extended period of time and through a variety of projects and applications.
Stratasys Direct Manufacturing conducted a four-month study to see how Multi Jet Fusion would stack up in a production environment compared to powder bed fusion processes. This article will cover the results and insights from that study, including process controls and design considerations to ensure repeatability, cost-effectiveness, and quality of Multi Jet Fusion parts. First, it’s important to have a general understanding of how the Multi Jet Fusion process works.
