MJF Growth Exceeds 40%, Ahead of Overall Printing Growth
Against 11.4% growth in printing overall, Protolabs reported more than 40% year-on-year growth in Q3 MJF printing revenue at its U.S. facilities, driven partly by drone customers. It serves more than 100 drone manufacturers. Revenue from the sector has grown more than 90% since 2023, with a compound annual growth rate approaching 40%.

Krishna said in the expansion announcement that as drone and aviation customers scale production, Protolabs is increasing MJF capacity to deliver the lightweight, production-ready parts they need.
HP 5600 Series: Greater Build Density, Materials, and Certifications
The expansion uses HP Jet Fusion 5600-series systems. Higher build density lets more parts fit in one chamber, improving per-part productivity. The primary material is Nylon PA-12, with good impact resistance and a high strength-to-weight ratio.

Protolabs' North Carolina printing facility holds U.S. ITAR registration and AS9100D and ISO 9001:2015 certifications, supporting aerospace and defense compliance requirements. At September 30, cash and investments totaled USD 175 million, and Q3 operating cash flow was USD 22.8 million.
Nanjixiong's Observations
Printing accounts for about 14.5% of total revenue. MJF's 40% growth is about 3.5 times the rate for printing overall. Business from drone customers has nearly doubled since 2023 as the sector moves from prototyping to batch production.
Aerospace and defense are among the leading adopters of additive manufacturing for end-use production. MJF was previously seen primarily as a prototyping process. Greater build density and mature materials are enabling small-batch production. Expanding capacity by 50% while lifting full-year guidance signals rising demand, a development worth tracking for Chinese MJF equipment suppliers and printing services.
