In a time where global supply chains are strained, with escalating shipping and tooling costs, HP Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) with genuine PA12 has quietly become the go-to for functional prototypes and real production parts right here in Aotearoa.
At BDL 3D, we’re proud to be New Zealand’s dedicated HP MJF contract manufacturer – running genuine HP Jet Fusion systems and certified as an official member of the HP Digital Manufacturing Network. That means every part we print meets HP’s rigorous global standards for quality and consistency.
Whether you’re prototyping a new medical device, scaling production of your components, or replacing imported injection-molded parts, we’re making production-grade nylon parts faster and more affordable than ever – without leaving NZ shores.
Why HP MJF + PA12 is the Smart Choice in 2025
Traditional SLS is great, but MJF takes it to another level:
- Faster builds – Up to 10× quicker than laser-based powder processes
- Fully isotropic parts – Same strength in X, Y, and Z (no weak layers)
- Superior surface finish – Smoother as-printed (Ra ~4–6 µm), perfect for dyeing
- Genuine HP PA12 – Durable, waterproof, biocompatible-capable, and backed by HP’s material certification
- Denser & stronger than legacy nylon processes – ideal for end-use applications
Our Current Capabilities – Built for Kiwi Businesses
- Fleet: HP Jet Fusion 5200 (production series for scale) + HP Jet Fusion 580 (full-colour for prototypes & small runs)
- Material: 100% genuine HP High Reusability PA12 (black/gray standard; dyed colours on request)
- Build volume: Up to 380 × 284 × 380 mm – nest hundreds of parts in a single run
- Lead times: 3–7 days standard, rush options available
- Volumes: 1 part → thousands (no minimums, no tooling)
- Post-processing:
- Bead blasting
- Deep-jet-black or custom dyeing
- PolyShot finishing (powered by DyeMansion Powershot C & S) – automated blasting + surfacing that delivers an ultra-consistent, satin, injection-molded-like finish with zero hand-work and perfect repeatability (learn more: https://bdl3d.co.nz/introducing-polyshot/)
- Payment & pricing: Zero upfront tooling or setup fees, pay-per-part (or per build), and flexible monthly/volume-based plans available – perfect for startups and scaling companies who want predictable costs without big capital outlay
- Shipping: 2-day or overnight anywhere in NZ, fast international to Australia and beyond with DHL
- Quality: HP-certified, full material traceability, rigorous testing
We’re especially strong in:
- Medical & orthotics/prosthetics (proven with NZ health sector partners)
- Industrial components & enclosures
- Consumer products
- Robotics & drone parts
- Anything that needs real nylon performance without mold costs
When Does MJF Beat Traditional Manufacturing?
| Scenario | Injection Molding | Import from Overseas | BDL3D HP MJF |
| 50 – 5,000 parts | $20k–$100k+ tooling | 8–16 week lead times | 3–7 days, no tooling |
| Need design changes mid-run | New mold required | Start over | Just re-print |
| Functional nylon PA12 parts | Possible (expensive) | Variable quality | HP-certified genuine |
| Local NZ/AU supply chain | Rarely | No | Printed right here |
