Planned investment in 81 additional HP Jet Fusion 5620 Pro systems will expand ADDMAN’s MJF fleet to more than 125 machines.
Production programs don’t stand still.
Volumes increase. Demand changes. Programs move from initial production into sustained production. And the manufacturing infrastructure behind them has to be ready to scale.
As the largest additive manufacturer in North America, ADDMAN is expanding its HP Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) capacity with plans to add 81 HP Jet Fusion 5620 Pro systems, bringing the company’s total HP MJF fleet to more than 125 machines.
The investment reflects growing customer demand for production-grade additive manufacturing and ADDMAN’s continued focus on building the infrastructure required to support programs as they grow.
Scaling the Manufacturing System
Production scale requires more than adding machines and equipment.
As volumes increase, manufacturers have to maintain control over the entire production system: process consistency, material management, scheduling, post-processing, inspection and the data required to understand how a process performs over time.
Capacity becomes part of that equation.
A manufacturing partner may be capable of producing a qualified part today. The harder question is whether that same manufacturing system has the capacity and infrastructure to support the program as demand grows.
For ADDMAN, expanding the MJF fleet is an investment in that next stage of production.
“This investment reflects the continued growth we are seeing in customer demand for production-grade additive manufacturing across a range of applications,” said Keith Schneider, General Manager, ADDMAN Polymer. “Expanding our HP Multi Jet Fusion capabilities will give us greater capacity to respond to that demand while enabling customers to scale production more flexibly and bring parts to market faster through agile, localized manufacturing.”
From Additive Manufacturing to Additive Production
Multi Jet Fusion is increasingly being used for applications where additive isn’t simply a bridge to another manufacturing process. It is the production method.
That changes what customers need from their manufacturing partners.
Repeatability matters. Available capacity matters. The ability to respond to changing volumes matters. And for programs expected to operate for years rather than builds, manufacturing infrastructure has to be capable of growing alongside them.
With more than 125 HP MJF systems planned across its fleet, ADDMAN is building that capacity intentionally — supporting larger production programs while maintaining the consistency and flexibility required for industrial manufacturing.
The number of machines may make the headline. What matters is what that capacity makes possible.
