Leicestershire-based
Matsuura Machinery Ltd has been appointed as the exclusive UK reseller of
HP’s Metal Jet 3-D printer range, adding cutting-edge metal additive manufacturing (AM) technology to its extensive portfolio. Since 2018, Matsuura has been HP’s trusted and award-winning UK reseller for Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) 3-D printers, installing over 100 systems nationwide and providing end-to-end service and support. This proven track record with HP’s polymer 3-D printing technology positions Matsuura perfectly to lead the introduction of HP’s Metal Jet – a high-volume, production-grade metal 3-D printing solution.
The HP Metal Jet uses advanced binder jetting technology to produce complex, high-quality metal parts at scale, offering significant productivity, cost-efficiency, and design freedom. Its capabilities make it ideal for industries such as automotive, industrial, medical, and consumer products, ‘where precision and performance are critical’.
David Chapman, Matsuura Machinery’s managing director, said: “Our appointment as the exclusive UK stockist for the HP Metal Jet represents a natural evolution of our partnership with HP. We have been supporting UK manufacturers with HP’s polymer 3-D printing technology for years, and our customers can now benefit from the same world-class service, training, and applications expertise for metal AM. Our decades of experience with our own AM/CNC hybrid LUMEX platform gives us a deep understanding of metal 3-D printing.”
Matsuura’s Additive Manufacturing Centre in Leicestershire will serve as the hub for Metal Jet demonstrations, applications development, training, and long-term customer support. As with HP’s MJF printers, Metal Jet will be backed by the company’s team of specialised AM Applications Engineers.
HP Metal Jet 3-D printers are already transforming the way manufacturers think about metal part production, enabling faster time-to-market, lower total cost, and unprecedented design possibilities. With Matsuura as the exclusive UK reseller, customers can expect expert guidance from initial enquiry through to full production integration.
