Overview

The HP Metal Jet S100+ is an industrial binder jetting system engineered for high-volume production of metal parts. Capable of processing stainless steel 316L and 17-4 PH, it delivers build rates up to 55 cm³/hour with voxel-level control for consistent part quality at scale.

Designed as a production platform rather than a prototyping tool, the S100+ integrates with HP Digital Manufacturing Network and supports automated powder management to maximize uptime. Its printhead array covers a 430 × 309 mm build area, enabling large batches per build cycle.

Post-processing follows standard metal injection molding (MIM) debinding and sintering workflows, allowing manufacturers to leverage existing MIM infrastructure. The system is well-suited for small-to-medium complex parts in automotive, industrial, and consumer goods manufacturing.

HP partners with global contract manufacturers to offer Metal Jet as a service, making the S100+ a strategic choice for OEMs looking to transition from casting or machining to digital production without large capital investments.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What metals can the HP Metal Jet S100+ print?

The system supports stainless steel 316L and 17-4 PH as primary materials, with additional alloys through HP material development program.

02 How does binder jetting compare to laser powder bed fusion?

Binder jetting is significantly faster and lower cost per part at volume, but requires sintering post-processing with ~15-20% shrinkage that must be accounted for in design.

03 Is the HP Metal Jet S100+ suitable for prototyping?

While capable of functional prototypes, the system is optimized for production runs of hundreds to thousands of parts per cycle.
