Idaho Bureau Chooses HP Jet Fusion 4200 3D Printer to Enhance its Offerings

Jawstec started with a simple goal in mind; to create a simple process where you can get production ready parts for a fraction of the cost. They offer a unique depth of custom manufacturing and 3D printing services to a variety of industries including Automotive, Consumer Products, and Aerospace for both small or large businesses.

With the growing demand for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) in recent years, Jawstec took it upon themselves to design an optimized drone. Unlike radio-controlled planes and helicopters, the product development varies in time and costs. Jawstec designed an enhanced drone with 3D Printing to make its parts stronger and lighter. The Jawstec team took it to open themselves to create a design that was more durable for the vast environment the drone would take flight in. They utilized HP Multi Jet Fusion 4200 3D Printer and Nylon PA 12 plastic materials for the parts. Their total design time took 18 hours with SOLIDWORKS and the total print time was 4 hours.  The engineers’ focus was to design a drone that was stronger and lighter, and with the HP 4200 3D Printer it weighed 200 grams lighter than the original drone design and increased its total flight time to 28 minutes. Jawstec’s design team was able to print up to 10x faster and reduced their product development costs by half. This wouldn’t have been possible without HP robust and accurate multi-jet fusion technology.
