HP Labs

To create, identify, and develop novel technologies and experiences that delight customers and define the future of HP Inc.

3D

By applying fundamental science to 3D printing technology, we are innovating in previously unimagined areas, from next-generation digital manufacturing with voxel-level control and performance, to new 3D printed functionalities like electronics.

Inside the lab

HP Labs has helped advance each of HP’s pioneering print and imaging technologies - inkjet, LaserJet, Indigo, Latex Inks/Large format, Piezo print, and now 3D. Today, our lab works on end-to-end 3D print system design, materials performance engineering, software and imaging systems, and cyber-physical process control to provide integrated solutions that will unleash manufacturing creativity and revolutionize how we design, create, make, and use material objects. We leverage HP’s advanced 3D printing technology platforms (Multi Jet Fusion and Metal Jet) and continue pushing the boundaries of what can be printed and what industries we can reinvent as a result.

Meet the inventors
