HP Additive Manufacturing Solutions has announced several updates at Formnext 2025 focused on lowering production costs and supporting wider industrial adoption of additive manufacturing. HP plans to reduce cost per part by 2026 through new materials and optimized print processes. The company confirmed general availability of HP 3D HR PA 11 Gen2, a polymer material with high reusability and lower variable part costs. HP has also introduced the HP Additive Manufacturing Network Program which aims to connect demand for parts with HP’s partner network to simplify production and support providers.
In metal printing HP is expanding its ecosystem through new materials and collaborations. Continuum Powders INDO MIM and TECNALIA are working with HP on nickel based alloys suitable for aerospace defense and energy applications. HP is also partnering with GKN Powder Metallurgy to support copper components for cloud and electrification needs.
HP has expanded its industrial portfolio with new filament 3D printer solutions including the HP IF 600HT for high temperature applications coming in early 2026 and a larger format HP IF 1000 XL planned for later in the year. HP and Würth Additive Group have also launched a collaboration that integrates digital inventory into Würth’s logistics systems enabling on demand production of validated spare parts.
