At RAPID + TCT 2026, HP unveiled its most compact Multi Jet Fusion model, the MJF 1200. With a 12-liter build volume, this machine aims to be the gateway to industrial additive manufacturing for engineering teams, design studios, and clinical environments. Its arrival is scheduled for early 2027 and will include Materialise's Magics Print for HP software to optimize workflow.
A gateway with large-format technology 🚪
The MJF 1200 inherits the powder bed fusion technology from its larger siblings but reduces the size to facilitate installation in tight spaces. The workflow is assisted by Magics Print, which allows for efficient part preparation and nesting. Although the volume is limited, HP assures that it maintains the production quality and repeatability of the industrial series, offering a solid starting point for those entering additive manufacturing.

Finally, engineers can have an industrial printer without needing permission to use the basement warehouse. The MJF 1200 is like a small dog that barks with the same power as a big one but fits in an elevator. Of course, now you'll have to explain to colleagues that it's not a high-end toaster, even though it melts plastic with the same dedication as one.
