HP is collaborating with Elnik’s sister business, DSH Technologies, to expand the capabilities of HP's commercial S100 Metal Jet Solution to provide customers with unprecedented sintering expertise and capabilities, and helping to accelerate the potential of additive manufacturing (AM).

“This collaboration equips customers using HP's commercial S100 Metal Jet Solution with advanced sintering capabilities, opening up new horizons in 3D printing for industries worldwide,” says Ramon Pastor, global head of 3D Metals at HP.

The company says that the acceleration of sinter-based AM technology comes to life as collaboration meets action. HP has engaged Elnik Systems to develop a furnace configuration dedicated to processing metal additive manufactured parts, which are the cornerstone of its metal jet system development.

Elnik Systems, a seasoned veteran in the debind and sinter furnace industry, has decided to collaborate with the HP team to help drive adoption of the metal additive part-making technology. It has modified its standard metal injection molding debind and sinter furnace to accommodate the requirements that the binder jet part-making technology demands.

DSH Technologies has joined in the collaborative effort to provide technical processing knowledge sharing and expertise to help part producers with a go-to-market strategy based on technical awareness and production scale capabilities.

“Working together with the HP team has been amazing,” says Stefan Joens, president of Elnik Systems. “The mutual interest to see the metal 3D printing technology advance through team effort discussion, innovation and desire is what will help this manufacturing technology become a fully capable processing method of the future.”

Elnik Systems is a global manufacturer of debind and sinter furnaces, and ancillary equipment. It supports customers across all product lines from medical and aerospace, to defense and military, as well as fashion and lifestyle, among other industries. It is a seasoned veteran in the metal injection molding industry with a strong presence in the sinter based metal AM industry.
