At Rapid + TCT 2026, HP presented a number of innovations from its additive manufacturing portfolio. The developments underscore HP's commitment to lowering the barriers to adoption of 3D printing while enabling customers to transition from prototyping to serial production.

This year, HP Additive Manufacturing Solutions (HP AM) looks back on a decade of innovation in additive manufacturing. HP has always focused on removing complexity and equipping engineers and designers with the tools they need to produce at the point of innovation. As HP enters its second decade in additive manufacturing, it is building on this foundation: The company is expanding the capabilities of its platform through continuous material innovation.

As we look back on a decade of innovation in additive manufacturing, the latest advancements in our portfolio reflect HP’s commitment to bringing industrial-grade capabilities closer to where ideas are born.

Increase Print Performance By 20 Percent

As part of this evolution, the HP Jet Fusion 5600 Series introduces a high productivity print mode that increases print performance by 20 percent. The series supports HP AM's strategy to reduce cost per part at scale. The 5600 supports HP 3D High Reusability PA 12 Glass Beads, enabling the cost-effective production of stiff, dimensionally stable parts. At the same time, it expands the range of applications that customers can cover with HP's polymer additive manufacturing technologies. Another innovation from HP is the HP Multi Jet Fusion Dual Tone technology, which is made possible by HP's agent capabilities. It allows printing in two tones—white and gray—to create special part features such as textures, QR codes, markings and labels. The HP Jet Fusion 5600 Series is the first system in the HP portfolio to incorporate this feature. Availability is expected from the end of 2026.
“As we look back on a decade of innovation in additive manufacturing, the latest advancements in our portfolio reflect HP’s commitment to bringing industrial-grade capabilities closer to where ideas are born,” said Alex Moñino, SVP and GM, HP Additive Manufacturing Solutions. “We’re lowering the cost per part and simplifying workflows—making it easier for our customers to adopt additive manufacturing and expand into new applications. This commitment to innovation and lowering total cost of ownership is why industry leaders like ADDMAN continue to invest in our technology. This includes the company’s purchase of 13 new printers, further expanding its already substantial installed base.” 

Producing Robust, Functional Polymer Parts

HP is also introducing the HP Multi Jet Fusion 1200 3D Printer Solution, a compact system designed to provide broader access to HP's Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) industrial technology. The solution offers the same core MJF technology used in HP's existing additive manufacturing portfolio in a smaller, more cost-effective printer. This enables teams to produce robust, functional polymer parts suitable for real-world applications.
The system offers fast part production times within a 3.2 US gallons build volume, as well as a guided workflow that simplifies daily operations. Automated processes for unpacking parts, mixing materials, and preparing builds help reduce the need for manual intervention. At the same time, this ensures a clean working environment, making it easier for companies to integrate industrial additive manufacturing into their facilities.Every HP MJF 1200 3D printer comes with Magics Print for HP. Materialise provides this specialized build preparation software as part of the CO-AM ecosystem. The tailored solution offers professional tools for 3D nesting, part alignment, and build layout. Customers can use it to prepare their prints quickly and efficiently from day one—simplifying the journey from design to printed part.

With the HP Industrial Filament 3D Printer 600HT, we can reliably process high-temperature materials with the precision and consistency required by our development process.

Reliable Pocessing of High-Temperature Materials

The HP Industrial Filament 3D Printer 600 High Temperature (HT) was first introduced in November 2025 and is now available in the United States and Canada. Built on an open materials platform and supported by HP AM's global service network, the solution offers manufacturers the flexibility to work with a wide range of polymers. At the same time, it reduces the cost per part and shortens time to market. This strengthens the company's portfolio at various stages of product development and production.
“With the HP Industrial Filament 3D Printer 600HT, we can reliably process high-temperature materials with the precision and consistency that our development process requires,” explains David Vannieuwenhuyse, head of the research and development department at Haelvoet. “The 3D printer enables us to produce high-quality prototypes and small production runs that improve the functionality and ergonomics of our products. By shortening design-test iteration cycles, we significantly reduce our time to market. The 600HT offers us exactly what we need: powerful and reliable technology that supports innovation and opens the door to new applications.” 

Closed Powder Management System

HP has also further expanded its Metal Jet platform. New materials were developed and qualified for industrial production in high-growth sectors such as aerospace, tooling and energy. These include copper for high-conductivity applications (thermal management and electrification), nickel superalloys such as M247LC for high-temperature aerospace components and tungsten carbide-cobalt (WC-Co) materials for tooling. HP Additive Manufacturing Solutions is working with Volkmann GmbH, a metal powder handling specialist, to introduce vPort, a closed-loop powder management system for the HP Metal Jet S100 Printing Solution. The solution integrates Volkmann's powder handling technology and enables semi-automated depowdering, cleaning, powder recovery and refilling of components within a closed-loop workflow. The vPort system has been designed as an entry-level option alongside HP's fully automated solutions. It aims to simplify powder handling and improve operational safety and process efficiency.
