HP Multi Jet Fusion 3D Printing — Production Nylon, Faster
HP Multi Jet Fusion is the fastest route to production-quality PA12 nylon parts in Australia. Fine fusing-agent resolution, batch-to-batch consistency tight enough for end-use production and uniform black-dyed finish for consumer-facing parts.
Typical projects start from $500+ · Engineering & business enquiries welcome · Upload CAD, STEP & STL files for review

Why Forge Labs
Why MJF dominates short-run nylon production
The production-ready additive process trusted by Volkswagen, BMW, Smith Optics and Cobra Golf.
Production-Grade Consistency
MJF parts have batch-to-batch mechanical property consistency tight enough for genuine production use.
Fine Detail Resolution
80-micron layers and fusing-agent ink jets capture text, logos and engraving down to 0.2 mm — sharper than SLS.
Faster Than SLS
MJF prints up to 10× faster than laser sintering, making short-run nylon production economically viable.
Dye-Black Standard
Parts can be dyed deep black in-bath for cosmetic consistency on consumer-facing products.
Strong, Isotropic Parts
PA12 nylon delivers ~48 MPa tensile strength and equal performance in every axis — true end-use material.
Our Workflow
From CAD to dispatched MJF parts
Submit your STEP/STL
Upload via our quote form. We nest your parts into the 380 × 284 × 380 mm build volume to maximise efficiency.
DFM & nesting
We check minimum wall thickness (0.7 mm) and escape holes, then optimise nesting density for the build.
Print, cool, depowder
Fusing and detailing agents are inkjetted onto PA12 powder, then fused with infrared lamps. 24-hour build + cool cycle.
Bead-blast, dye, dispatch
Parts bead-blasted to uniform satin finish, optionally dyed black, dimensionally checked and shipped Australia-wide.
What we deliver
HP Multi Jet Fusion done in-house
PA12 standard · Black-dyed available · 24-hour build cycles
HP MJF works by inkjetting fusing and detailing agents onto a PA12 powder bed, then fusing with high-intensity infrared lamps. The result is a nylon part with sharper feature definition than SLS, faster build times, and the kind of dimensional and mechanical consistency that production engineers can actually design around. We run HP MJF alongside our SLS systems and pick the right process per job.
