Sculpteo Adds HP Metal Jet 3D Printing to On-Demand Service

Production-Grade Metal AM Goes On-Demand

Sculpteo, one of the leading online 3D printing service bureaus, has added HP Metal Jet to its service offering — making production-grade metal additive manufacturing accessible to customers across Europe and the USA without upfront hardware investment.

HP launched its metal binder jet offering in 2022, promising high-quality parts at scale for medical, industrial, consumer goods, and automotive applications. The Metal Jet technology boasts high throughput, exceptional detail, and competitive economics.

How Metal Jet Works

The process works by selectively jetting liquid binder onto layers of powder to form a green part that is later debinded and sintered to yield final density and mechanical properties. Unlike traditional metal AM methods, Metal Jet can build complex geometries without support structures while delivering consistent material properties.

From Prototypes to Production

The service will support prototypes, low to mid-volume production, and large batches — empowering designers and engineers to iterate more quickly and produce real end-use components on demand.

This service marks a new era for digital manufacturing, said Alexandre d'Orsetti, CEO of Sculpteo. Our integration of HP Metal Jet technology means customers can now leverage production-grade metal additive manufacturing to produce bespoke prototypes through to hundreds or thousands of parts without upfront investment in hardware.

The addition positions Sculpteo to compete more directly with other metal AM service providers while giving customers more options for accessing this transformative technology.
