标题: HP and Hyperion Partner to Commercialize Binder-Jet 3D Printing of Tungsten Carbide [打印本页] 作者: admin 时间: 2026-11-1 08:00 标题: HP and Hyperion Partner to Commercialize Binder-Jet 3D Printing of Tungsten Carbide Nanjixiong learned on October 28, 2026, that HP's additive manufacturing division and Hyperion Materials & Technologies announced a strategic preferred-partner agreement to commercialize tungsten carbide (WC) additive manufacturing, offering global industrial customers scalable production of complex carbide parts and rapid prototyping.
Hyperion installed an HP Metal Jet S100 printer at its Barcelona, Spain, production site in October 2026. The partners combine Hyperion's decades of hard-material sintering and finishing experience with HP's scalable binder-jet platform, covering application development, process qualification, and batch production.
Hyperion also launched CarbiForm™, a ready-to-print tungsten carbide powder range designed for binder jetting and tested for compatibility with HP Metal Jet printers and Hyperion's sintering process. Tungsten carbide is hard and wear-resistant but difficult to machine conventionally, with low material utilization. Additive manufacturing offers a route to complex geometries.
The partners will work with customers to select applications where tungsten carbide AM offers technical and economic advantages. HP will demonstrate the technology at Formnext in Frankfurt on November 17–20, hall 12.1, booth D41.
Nanjixiong's observations
Tungsten carbide is a hard, brittle material that is difficult to process conventionally. Extending binder jetting to WC pushes the printable materials frontier further into challenging hard materials.
