HP Opens Production-Grade 3D Printing Center in China
The Lanwan Intelligence – HP Multi Jet Fusion Technology Mass Manufacturing Center will manufacture production parts for automotive, consumer goods and other industries.
HP Inc. and Guangdong (Dali) 3D Printing Collaborative Innovation Platform have opened a production-grade 3D printing center in China. The Platform has stocked its new Lanwan Intelligence – HP Multi Jet Fusion Technology Mass Manufacturing Center with 10 HP Multi Jet Fusion 3D printing systems to meet the growing demand for functional prototypes and production-grade parts. This is said to be HP’s largest deployment of production-grade 3D printing in Asia Pacific and Japan.
Operated by Guangdong Lanwan Intelligence Technology, the new Lanwan Intelligence – HP Multi Jet Fusion Technology Mass Manufacturing Center is located in the town of Dali, Foshan, a major manufacturing hub in Guangdong Province. The center will exclusively use HP Multi Jet Fusion 3D printing systems to provide production-grade applications at scale for major auto, consumer goods and motorcycle customers in Foshan as well as for other industries in the Greater Bay Area of Southern China.
“Everything starts with applications—and digital manufacturing innovators are leading the transformation of the $12 trillion manufacturing sector by producing industrial-grade parts across industries on HP Multi Jet Fusion,“ says Stephen Nigro, Ppesident of 3D Printing, HP Inc. “We are thrilled that Guangdong (Dali) 3D Printing Collaborative Innovation Platform is deploying HP Multi Jet Fusion technology at factory-scale to drive its business growth and accelerate industry innovation. HP is committed to helping our global digital manufacturing partner community expand and thrive.”
“The demand for 3D-printed production-grade parts will grow exponentially over the next few years as we shift from analog to digital manufacturing,” says Luo Jun, executive director of China 3D Printing Technology Industry Alliance and President of Guangdong Lanwan Intelligence Technology. “By deploying HP’s Multi Jet Fusion technology in our new digital manufacturing center in China, we can better—and more quickly—deliver cost-effective and production-grade parts to our customers.”
