hi I'm Scott Stein and this giant thing here is a 3d printer HP has gotten into new 3d printing technology with something called multi jet fusion now industrial 3d printing uses a lot of materials and customs take a lot of time multi jet fusion aims to produce high quality very strong objects in a lot quicker process and hopefully create more affordable objects along the way multi jet fusion right now uses fused nylon to create its parts and HP was demonstrating that things like chain link could actually support cars if they were done right now using this technology it's kind of like inkjet technology compared to other 3d printers creating a little droplets and doing a horse stage process to build up the object the idea is the accuracy is down to 20 microns which is a lot more finely honed than a lot of other 3d printers that are out there HP is open to creating other materials too down the road you might see others similar to what other 3d printers in the market use or even other materials this is going to be launching in a 2015 beta window but the idea that people will finally get their hands on these in 2016 this is not for home use this is a big 3d printer but HP is also designed front end computing platforms like sprout to be able to use immersive computing to create objects that then can be sent to 3d printers maybe 3d printers around the corner HP certainly seems invested in it I'm Scott Stein and that's a quick look HP's multi jet fusion 3d printing technology here in New York
