At RAPID + TCT 2026, HP announced a series of developments across its additive manufacturing portfolio. Together, these developments reinforce HP’s continued commitment to lowering the barriers to adoption while enabling customers to scale from prototyping to full production. At the core of this vision is a focus on removing complexity and equipping engineers and designers with the tools they need to manufacture closer to where innovation happens.

As part of this evolution, the HP Jet Fusion 5600 series is introducing a High Productivity print mode that boosts printer output by 20%and supports HP AM’s strategy to lower cost per part at scale. The 5600 will support HP 3D High Reusability PA 12 Glass Beads, enabling the production of stiff, dimensionally stable parts at a low cost while further broadening the range of applications customers can address with HP’s polymer additive manufacturing technologies. 
 
HP is also introducing HP Multi Jet Fusion Dual Tone technology, enabled by HP’s unique agent capabilities, which allows printing in two color tones – white and grey – to create special part features such as textures, QR codes, markings and labels. The HP Jet Fusion 5600 series will be the first system in the HP portfolio to offer this capability built in, with availability planned for late 2026.
 
“As we mark a decade of innovation in additive manufacturing, these latest advancements across our portfolio reflect HP’s focus on bringing industrial-grade capabilities closer to where ideas take place,” said Alex Moñino, SVP and GM, HP Additive Manufacturing Solutions. “By lowering cost per part and simplifying workflows, we are making it easier for customers to adopt additive manufacturing and scale it across new applications. This commitment to innovation and lowering TCO is why industry leaders like ADDMAN continue to invest in our technology, most recently evidenced by their acquisition of 13 new printers to expand their already significant installed base.”

HP announced the introduction of the HP Multi Jet Fusion 1200 3D Printer Solution, a compact system designed to bring wider access to HP’s industrial Multi Jet Fusion (MJF). The solution delivers the same core MJF technology used across HP’s existing additive manufacturing portfolio in a smaller, more affordable printer, enabling teams to produce strong, functional polymer parts suitable for real-world applications.
