The companies are working hand in hand to produce lifecycle, from new designs to final parts production, to develop breakthrough applications for customers in industries such as automotive, home and commercial appliances, and medical devices. 

Matthias Weißkopf, Senior Vice President, Research & Development, Oechsler AG, shared “As we continue driving the mass production of 3D printed parts, we believe working with an industry leader like HP will enable our customers to take full advantage of digital manufacturing. With the advanced capabilities of HP’s production-grade 3D printing systems we can provide unprecedented levels of quality, speed, reliability, and cost savings. The opportunity to collaborate closely on every phase of the product lifecycle and jointly develop breakthrough applications with HP and our customers will transform industries.” 

At the center of the strategic alliance is the joint development of entirely new applications with market leading automotive, home, and commercial appliances, and medical customers to create unique product designs, bring 3D printed parts to market faster, and unleash the full potential of additive manufacturing. The company has installed a fleet of industrial grade HP Jet Fusion 5200 3D printers in its factory in Ansbach, Germany.

Leveraging the platform’s advanced capabilities; HP and Oechsler are working with customers to jointly develop new applications using a range of advanced materials enabled by BASF including the new HP 3D High Reusability Polypropylene (PP) and ULTRASINT® TPU01 thermoplastic polyurethane. It is also the first to use the joint post-processing solution developed by Rösler for the HP Jet Fusion 5200 Series.
