The LEAP Awards, a design competition for engineers, announced the winners at a dinner gala in Costa Mesa, Calif., December 12, 2018.

For the category of Additive Manufacturing, the winner was HP Inc., with its Jet Fusion 300/500 series full-color 3D printers.

These printers enable manufacturers to quickly produce engineering-grade, functional parts in full color, black, or white – with voxel-level control of color and part properties.  The printers are driven by a breakthrough in full-color 3D printing technology: HP’s patented Bright Fusing Agent.

Judging this entry were Carl Dekker, President, MET-L-FLO Inc., Bradford L. Goldense, President, Goldense Group Inc., Russ Hempstead, Senior Development ENgineer, Just Right Surgical, and Mike Vasquez, CEO, 3Degrees, LLC.

The judges commented: “There are so many aspects of this technology that push the envelope. The material properties, print fidelity, surface finish, and print speed available with the Jet Fusion are taking 3D printing to the next level.”

Congratulations to HP Inc.!
