Industrial 3D printing company, Makerly, expands capacity with an additional MJF system.
Makerly has expanded its manufacturing capacity by installing an additional HP Multi Jet Fusion 5620 system at its production facility in Romania.
Following the installation, the company’s production fleet now includes nine industrial MJF systems. The expansion is intended to increase production throughput and enable Makerly to process larger orders while maintaining consistent manufacturing parameters across repeat batches.
Multi Jet Fusion is a powder-based additive manufacturing technology designed for the production of functional polymer components. Unlike conventional manufacturing processes that may require molds or dedicated tooling, MJF allows parts to be manufactured directly from digital 3D models.
The technology is commonly used for functional prototypes, housings, brackets, adapters, technical components and low- to medium-volume production. Multiple parts can be positioned within the same build chamber, making the process suitable for projects that require repeatable manufacturing without an immediate investment in injection-molding tools.
The additional equipment strengthens Makerly’s ability to serve manufacturers, engineering companies, product developers and 3D printing studios across Europe.
According to the company, the expanded production capacity will allow it to accept higher job volumes and provide more flexibility when planning recurring production runs. It will also help reduce scheduling constraints for projects involving prototypes, replacement components and commercial batches of finished parts.
Makerly provides industrial 3D printing, technical 3D modeling and post-processing services for businesses developing or manufacturing physical products.
The company’s production workflow supports projects at different stages, from testing an initial design to manufacturing repeat batches. Because production begins with a digital model, customers can update the geometry between orders without replacing a mold or rebuilding dedicated production tooling.
The expanded facility supports production using engineering materials including PA 12 S and PA 12 W.
PA 12 S is intended for durable components that require dimensional stability and resistance to mechanical loads. It can be used for technical housings, fixtures, brackets and other functional parts.
PA 12 W is a white, high-density polyamide developed for applications where both technical performance and appearance are important. Its natural white color provides greater flexibility for visible components, presentation products and parts intended for further coloring or finishing.
Material selection remains dependent on the operating environment of the final component. Mechanical load, flexibility, temperature, chemical exposure, surface requirements and dimensional tolerances must all be considered before production.
The installation reflects the broader transition of industrial 3D printing from a prototyping tool to a production technology.
For manufacturers, additive production can be particularly useful when conventional tooling would take too long or would not be economically justified by the required batch size. It also gives product teams the ability to test commercial demand before committing to high-volume manufacturing.
Digital production can additionally support replacement parts and inventory management. Instead of storing large volumes of components, businesses can maintain digital files and manufacture parts when they are required.
By expanding its MJF fleet, Makerly is preparing for growing demand for flexible, tool-free production and functional 3D-printed components in the European industrial market.
As manufacturers offer more customization than ever before, managing product complexity has become a critical challenge. Tune in with Dan Joe Barry, Vice President of Product Marketing at Configit, who explores how companies are tackling the growing number of product configurations across engineering, sales, manufacturing, and service. He explains how Configuration Lifecycle Management (CLM) helps organizations maintain a single source of truth for configuration data. The result: fewer errors, faster quoting, and the ability to deliver customized products at scale.
