The Metal Jet Production Service is a manufacturing service provided by HP in collaboration with HP-approved Manufacturing Partners who offer parts using HP Metal Jet technology and send the finished parts to customers. The service allows customers to realize the power of HP Metal Jet technology through custom parts made to order.

Customers interested in leveraging this service can initiate the process by submitting a form containing their contact information. This prompts an HP 3D Metal Jet expert to engage with them directly to comprehensively understand their needs and specific part requirements.

Upon sharing the design file, the HP 3D Metal Jet expert conducts a thorough technical compatibility check and offers valuable design feedback tailored to Metal Jet production standards. Should the design meet compatibility criteria, customers have the option to request sample parts, accompanied by a detailed quotation and a price estimation for production volume.

Upon acceptance of the sample parts' quotation, production commences, facilitated either directly by HP or through an HP-approved Manufacturing Partner selected based on the project's particulars. The agreed-upon number of sample parts is then manufactured for customer inspection.

Upon the customer’s approval of the sample parts, a qualification and development process ensues for production volume. This involves ensuring that all quality requirements are met and finalizing pricing details.

Following the customer’s approval of the qualification process and agreement on final part pricing, the selected manufacturer proceeds to fulfil the production order, delivering the desired parts to the customer's satisfaction.
