| Recently, HP released the fourth quarter financial report and a comprehensive overview of the strategy of its growing 3D printing business.One of the most important part is that in 2018 will launch a new full-color 3D printing solution.  Q4 results are optimistic for the company.Although 3D printing technology is not HP's main source of income, but its additive manufacturing products have begun to occupy a dominant position in the crowded digital manufacturing market.20 partners, Including collaboration with Siemens and Deloitte research and development, has been a key part of 3D printing expansion.HP has signed the first international distribution agreement with its 3D printing system and Henkel, Germany, is distributing the company's additive products to manufacturing industries around the world . Speaking about the 3D printing business that covers the company's overall strategy, Dion Weisler, Chief Executive Officer, said: "Is 3D printing financially important to our performance today? Absolutely not. Does 3D printing have a strategic direction for the company Absolutely not bad, and I think whenever you have a $ 12 trillion market, you have the ability to make the transition, and for companies like Hewlett-Packard, it's incredible Change, just as many years ago, laser printers and inkjet printers as Hewlett-Packard has done. Looking to the future, the price cut seems to be a bottleneck throughout the company, with the JetFusion 3D 3200 now starting at $ 130,000, and the more advanced version of the JetFusion 3D 4200 selling at $ 155,000. Having built a good reputation with FDM and SLS technologies, The 3D metal printing industry will begin expanding in 2018. The most exciting recent HP launch for the loyal followers of the 3D printing industry is probably the full color 3D printing solution it plans to release next year. This system should allow users to quickly generate features, full color and voxel control Voxels are the smallest units of how a manufacturer refers to 3D printed objects and are understood in three-dimensional space as values on a regular grid, much like Pixels on the display, but with volume Each voxel contains volume information that can be changed to achieve the desired aesthetic and functional properties in the finished product. Operating print jobs at this subtle level of detail is becoming an increasingly viable option for optimizing the 3D printing process.HP envisions this voxel control technology as a key driver of innovation at the grassroots level.It will be for small and medium product development teams As well as design companies, universities and other research institutions tailored. |
