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 physical science and AI to 3D printing technology, we are innovating in previously unimagined areas, from next-generation digital manufacturing platform enabling voxel-level control and performance, new 3D printed functionalities like electronics, to digital twin technologies, to power next-generation process control software at both cloud and edge.
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.
Create Digital Twin for polymer and metal 3D printing
By synthesizing integrated computational materials engineering and AI, HP Labs researchers are seeding the next-generation process control software with Digital Twin technology. You may find a glimpse of how our research impacts HP’s product today.
Microfluidics & Systems Technology
The Microfluidics & Systems Technology lab invents microfluidic and imaging technologies for markets beyond office and home print, such as flexible packaging, life sciences, and sensing.
Inside the lab
The laboratory is renowned for its groundbreaking inventions in the fields of life science, inkjet, LaserJet, and Liquid Electrophotography, as well as its ability to create new businesses. The lab possesses a wide range of capabilities and skills, from biology to NEM/MEMS fabrication, and is staffed by a multidisciplinary team of experts, including mechanical engineers, physicists, chemists, and biologists. The lab has over 35 years of experience in the fields of printing and microfluidics.
Achieving the unattainable: Triumph where others have met defeat
We have implemented a revolutionary new technology that eliminates the need for a consumable component in digital commercial press engines. Our new technology replaces the traditional scorotron cold plasma charging system and enables a significant increase in press speed - up to 10 times that of existing customer marking engines - while also improving print quality, reducing costs, and reducing ozone emissions by 100 times. Our technology was implemented and has already generated billions of high-quality and beautiful prints for our satisfied customers.
Innovations in Single Cell Isolation and Imaging
Our lab is developing new applications for HP microfluidics technology in the life sciences. We have demonstrated rare cell isolation of circulating tumor cells with applications in liquid biopsies and 3D reconstructions of rotating cells with resolution comparable to confocal microscopy in a simple microfluidic device. The recent launch of HP’s single cell printer is an exciting platform for new innovations.
Calibrating SERS measurements via dispense
At HP Labs we have developed one of the most sensitive Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) sensors. By combining inkjet dispense with our SERS substrates, we have demonstrated a process for quantitative detection of trace level contaminants.
Inkless, energy-free rewritable display
A new rewritable printing technology
HP Labs pilots a new writable, energy-free display technology with tremendous promise for many industries. Inkless printing technology features no consumables and no waste that can repeatably erase and print on our low-cost rewritable high quality, energy-free, and secure media.
