HKPC and HP to launch a 3D printing technology centre this year

The facility will focus on research and development of 3D printing.

The Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC) and HP signed an agreement to establish the HKPC-HP 3D Printing Technology Centre (Centre) in Hong Kong for application research development on 3D printing. 

The centre aims to become a pilot transformation base for advanced 3D printing technologies and boost Hong Kong’s micro-factory and industrialisation development.

Set to open in September, the centre will be in the HKPC Building, equipped with HP’s research version of “Metal Jet” and “Multi Jet Fusion” industrial 3D printers. It will also offer consultancy and training services.

HP will also provide advanced equipment and talent to support centre operations, whilst HKPC will provide expertise in raw material development, process development, and smartification. 

Leveraging 3D printing will help achieve sustainability goals, open opportunities for industries such as healthtech, critical components, and electronics, and enable enterprises flexible and efficient production solutions to meet market demands.
