MJF 3D Printing Finishes

As Printed

Typically white or stone gray, smooth surface, powder texture, without visible layers.

Dyed (black)

Dyed black by immersion in a warm color bath. The color penetration reaches a depth of about 0.5 mm and covers all surfaces.

MJF 3D Printing FAQs

MJF was developed by Hewlett Packard (HP) and introduced in 2016, with the claim that it was capable of print speeds up to 10 times faster than other technologies, and could print up to 12,000 voxels per linear inch, per layer. Voxels are the 3D equivalent of pixels on a 2D printer.

Common MJF applications include housing for electrical components, jigs and fixtures for highly specific purposes, and mechanical assemblies or enclosures.
