Legor and HP collaborate on precious metal binder jetting Consumer Products

by Business

HP Inc. and Legor Group SPA have entered a strategic collaboration for the development of precious metal materials for HP’s Metal Jet system. Legor, a leader in metals science and production of best-in-class alloys, powders, and plating solutions, is the first to produce specialty precious metal materials for the jewelry and fashion accessories markets designed to work with HP’s 3D metal binder jet platform. Legor emerged as a leading provider of precious metal powders for metal PBF processes, however, the use of direct precious metal AM in PBF is catching on very slowly. Because it offers more geometric freedom and requires no supports, binder jetting could finally open up new opportunities for direct 3D printing of precious metal jewelry.

We’ve had a keen interest in Boston-based company Fortify since it was named a winner of Formnext’s 2018 Start-up Challenge. And for good reason. The company, which in 2021 raised $20 million in a Series B funding round, has pioneered a magnetic DLP 3D printing process for producing high-quality composite parts. The patented process, known as Digital Composite Manufacturing, is at the center of Fortify’s broader offering, which also includes filled photopolymers and a new software solution, Flux Developer, which gives users the tools, experiments, and workflows to develop and qualify filled resins for a variety of applications.
