How much does the HP Metal Jet S100 Metal 3D Printer cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a metal additive manufacturing in this class — not a quote from HP. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The HP Metal Jet S100 Metal 3D Printer is a binder jetting machine that deposits binder by thermal inkjet into a 430 x 320 x 200 mm build volume. The listed figures put printhead resolution at 1,200 dpi and layer thickness at 35 - 140 µm.
316L stainless steel is the primary material. 17-4 PH stainless is listed as an additional material, and Inconel 625 carries a development label, so it should not be counted on for production work. Dimensional accuracy is listed at ±0.3% after sintering. That is a percentage, so the allowance grows with the size of the feature.
A sintering furnace is required and is listed as either a separate or an integrated system. The furnace is therefore part of the purchase decision from the start, since its load size and cycle set how many builds the printer can usefully feed. Control software is listed as HP SmartStream Metal.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
316L stainless steel is listed as the primary material. 17-4 PH stainless is an additional material, and Inconel 625 is shown as in development, so treat it as not yet available for production.
02
Yes. The table lists a sintering furnace as required, either as a separate or an integrated system. Dimensional accuracy of ±0.3% is stated after sintering, so the furnace step is part of what determines the final part.
03
Printhead resolution is 1,200 dpi and layer thickness is 35 - 140 µm, in a build volume of 430 x 320 x 200 mm. The process is binder jetting by thermal inkjet.
