To achieve optimal results on 3D-printed parts, there are multiple factors to consider, including:

• Printer calibration, print mode, and recommended minimum distance between parts
• Orientation and positioning of parts to maximize mechanical properties as well as look & feel.

HP Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) technology allows for the design and production of accurate parts with small features, complex geometries, and functional assemblies. These advantages can be enhanced by adding complementary post-processes such as machining, especially for applications where very tight tolerances are required such as small threads, bearing housings, or engineering fits. Finding a suitable post-processing workflow can significantly impact the look and feel of the final part, as well as its mechanical properties.
