What is Multi Jet Fusion?

MJF 3D Printing Overview

MJF (Multi Jet Fusion) 3D printing is an advanced additive manufacturing process, It creates parts by selectively fusing powdered material—typically nylon or similar polymers—using chemical agents and heat.

The process begins with a thin, even layer of powder spread across the build platform. Specialized printheads then deposit a fusing agent on areas meant to solidify, plus a detailing agent along edges to sharpen boundaries and boost precision. Next, a powerful infrared heating element passes over the layer: treated areas fuse into solid material, while untreated powder stays loose. This layering cycle repeats—new powder spread, selectively fused—until the part is fully built.

Advantages of HLH MJF Printing

Complex Geometries

Complex Geometries

HLH’s MJF printing service can be used to print highly detailed and dimensionally accurate parts. That makes it well-suited for producing functional prototypes and end-use parts with unique shapes.

Excellent Surface Finish

Excellent Surface Finish

Because MJF uses a thin layer structure, it offers one of the smoothest surface finishes of any 3D printing technology.

Produce a Large Volume of Parts Quickly

Produce a Large Volume of Parts Quickly

Multiple parts can be produced at the same time in a single build.

Excellent Mechanical Properties

Excellent Mechanical Properties

Parts produced using MJF have excellent isotropic mechanical properties.That’s because it doesn’t require support structures.

Medical

Medical

MJF is frequently used to build customized dental implants and prosthetics that must be customized to individual patient needs.

Aerospace

Aerospace

The toughness and durability of MJF parts make them an easy selection for applications like drone frames and aircraft components.

Manufacturing

Manufacturing

The incredible toughness of MJF parts make them well-suited to manufacturing jigs, fixtures and tooling. It’s also used to produce end-of-arm tooling for robots.

Automotive

MJF is used to produce highly durable components like engine housings and door hinges, both for prototype and production vehicles.

MJF 3D Printing Materials

PA 12

PA 12 is a high-tensile strength nylon known for its durability and smooth surface finish. The final parts are dyed black and offer slightly more isotropic mechanical properties compared to SLS materials. With a smaller minimum feature resolution of 0.02 in (versus 0.03 in for SLS), PA 12 Black is ideal for detailed designs and is the preferred choice for living hinges due to its flexibility and strength.

PA 11

PA 11 is a bio-based nylon made from castor oil—so it’s renewable, and it brings tough, flexible performance. It handles cold really well too: even at -40°C (-40°F), it still resists impact. It doesn’t absorb much water, so parts stay dimensionally stable in humid environments, and it stands up to oils and greases. With MJF, it delivers consistent strength across all axes, and it works with post-processing like dyeing or sanding—great for flexible parts like medical components or outdoor gear.

PP

PP (Polypropylene) is a lightweight, budget-friendly thermoplastic that pairs well with MJF. It resists chemicals, doesn’t absorb much moisture, and balances rigidity with a little give—so it works in all kinds of settings, from general industrial use to consumer goods. MJF’s powder bed process makes consistent parts, and you can trim or polish them for a nicer finish. It’s ideal for non-load-bearing parts—think housings, containers, or light industrial fittings.

01

Sanding (Standard)

Bead blasting removes all excess powder, leaving a uniform texture

02

Vapor Smoothing

Reduces surface roughness from 250+ μin RA (as-printed) to 64 – 100 μin RA. Applicable for all MJF printed materials.

03

Dyeing

A main way to color MJF parts (usually black).

04

Custom Finishing

Includes secondary options such as priming, tapping, and inserts for enhanced part functionality.
