HP AM is expanding its industrial manufacturing portfolio, launching the HP IF 600HT filament 3D printer in a strategic move to open new applications in new market spaces.
The first system in this range, the HP Industrial Filament 3D Printer 600 High Temperature (HP IF 600HT), is a modular system designed for printing high temperature and engineered filaments, will be available in H1 2026. A second system, the HP Industrial Filament 3D Printer (HP IF 1000 XL) focused on producing large quality parts will be introduced in H2 2026.
HP suggests that the move brings its trusted reliability and deep application expertise to the high-performance filament market, empowering customers in sectors such as aerospace, oil and gas, medical, automotive, railway, and education to produce high-value, production-grade applications with confidence.
“The new portfolio broadens HP’s ability to serve diverse industrial needs, from engineering and high-temperature materials to precision components and large-format production parts, enabling customers to lower their cost per part and accelerate time to market,” said a spokesperson. “Built on an open materials platform and supported by HP’s global service network, HP Industrial Filament 3D Printer Solutions give manufacturers the flexibility to innovate with a wide range of polymers and scale into new applications while maintaining industrial-grade performance.”
Also announced was the strengthening HPs Metal Jet ecosystem through new material qualifications and industry collaborations. Continuum Powders and INDO-MIM Inc. have qualified OptiPowder Ni718 for use on the HP Metal Jet S100, achieving sintered components with over 98% density, consistent hardness (74-79 HR15N), and precise carbon control, confirming its readiness for aerospace, defense, and energy applications.
Building on this success, HP AM Solutions, in collaboration with Continuum Powders and Tecnalia, is advancing the development of OptiPowder M247LC, a low-carbon, nickel-based superalloy designed for high-temperature applications where both strength and corrosion resistance are essential.
Once qualified, the framework will extend to include additional high-performance nickel specialty alloys, further advancing binder jet technology as a scalable and production-ready solution.
