Exclusive collaboration brings HP's leading 3D printing technology to Firestorm's expeditionary manufacturing system, unlocking new capabilities and job opportunities in critical sectors.
Firestorm Labs, Inc. has secured exclusive distribution rights from HP Inc. for its mobile Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) 3D printing technologies. This collaboration cements Firestorm as the sole provider of HP’s high-performance 3D printers in mobile and field-deployable environments and marks a major leap forward in how commercial, humanitarian, and medical sectors respond to urgent, on-the-ground needs.
At the core of the agreement is Firestorm’s xCell system, a scalable manufacturing system housed in two expandable 20-foot containers that can be deployed around the world. The entire system can run on power generators, battery backup systems, or traditional power sources, making it incredibly useful in remote locations, including forward operating bases and disaster zones. By integrating HP’s industry-leading 3D printing technology, xCell enables the production of mission-critical components and unmanned aerial systems (UAS) in real-time, at the point of need.
Firestorm’s vision is to create a distributed, resilient global production network where customers can leverage regional and localized supply chains to adapt to shortages, deliver products more quickly, and flexibly develop needs-based modifications to products with long lead and shipping times. 3D printing is uniquely and supremely suited to distributed, flexible, and elastic production, which solves a broad range of logistical challenges, including contested logistics.
The collaboration also signals an investment in workforce development, creating new high-tech jobs in system operations and maintenance, field deployment, and drone manufacturing and assembly. Firestorm’s expanding ecosystem will require skilled technicians, engineers, and logistics experts to support the growing demand for mobile manufacturing solutions.
Together, Firestorm and HP are redefining how the world thinks about manufacturing, shifting from static supply chains to dynamic, in-situ production that’s fast, resilient, and scalable. Expeditionary 3D printing makes that possible, letting organizations create and modify exactly what they need, responsively and scalably.
