ArcelorMittal and HP Collaborate to Advance Additive Manufacturing

ArcelorMittal and HP announced a strategic collaboration to advance the field of steel additive manufacturing.

ArcelorMittal acknowledges HP’s technical expertise by selecting their cutting-edge Metal Jet S100 technology to develop steel additive manufacturing. This adoption underscores ArcelorMittal's commitment to leveraging advanced technologies to enhance its manufacturing capabilities.

HP credits ArcelorMittal with promising results with their steel powders, demonstrating robustness for the binder jetting technology. These powders have shown immediate good performance without changing printing parameters, highlighting the synergy between the two companies.

By combining HP’s expertise in printing and existing production in additive manufacturing with ArcelorMittal’s leadership in sustainable steel solutions, the collaboration aims to promote steel additive manufacturing.

The collaboration will focus on the following key pillars:

The proposed working model involves HP and ArcelorMittal collaborating to bring new steel solutions to a sufficient Technology Readiness Level (TRL) and then leveraging ArcelorMittal Research Center for breakthrough applications as an incubator for new applications developed in collaboration with customers, saving them the initial investment to evaluate and qualify the technology until the process can be transferred to a contract manufacturer for final industrialization and production.

This collaboration represents a significant step forward in advancing steel additive manufacturing. It combines the strengths of two industry leaders to drive innovation and deliver high-quality, sustainable solutions.
