While other 3D printing services offer a range of technologies, US-based Endeavor 3D has all its eggs in the HP basket offering only MJF and HP’s metal 3D printing solution, Metal Jet. These HP specialists are one of only a handful of official HP Digital Manufacturing Partners in North America.

The company can handle rapid prototyping all the way to high-volume serial production. More than a print service, they want to be your manufacturing partner, which means that they combine engineering, manufacturing, and, they say, “creativity” for a long-term relationship.

If you’re looking for end-products for customers, Endeavor offers a wide range of custom-color matching, dying, and texture finishing, plus a fulfillment option.

There’s no instant quote option online so you’ll need to reach out via email or the company’s online form.

We took a good look at the 3D printing services at US-based contract manufacturer JawsTec and were pleasantly surprised. Sure they also offer CNC machining and metal fabrication services but 3D printing has become the major focus. In fact, JawsTec is also part of HP’s Digital Manufacturing Network offering parts on the HP Multi-Jet Fusion 4210 and 5210 machines, with the addition of six new 5620 Pro machine in 2025.

If you’re not sure if 3D printing is for your or how to get started, you can avail yourself of JawsTec’s engineering and design services. They’ll assess your project feasibility, product design and validation, process optimization, production streamlining, and, basically, all you need to get your project off the ground.

Another bonus at JawsTec is the streamlined instant quote service. It took us about 5 seconds to get a quote on our MJF part including all of the color and finish options, plus we didn’t even have to create an account first.

Materialise has been active in additive manufacturing for more than 30 years. Over its long history, it’s built a reputation for software solutions, but also offers a huge range of on-demand 3D printing services and has one of the largest fleets of 3D printers in the world.

Materialise is a certified member of the HP Digital Manufacturing Network and can produce parts for demonstration and functional prototyping all the way up to batch end-use parts.

There are two sides to Materialize’s offerings; one is a on-demand service with a instant quote and the other is a contract manufacturing service where you work with engineers to develop your product (if you need that service) and then mass-manufacture it.

The on-demand offering is called Materialise Onsite and it has a good instant quoting system and a minimum order of $55.

Post-processing options include sandblasting, dyeing, and painting. Delivery times start at 4 business days for TPU parts and 5 days for PA12.

In the catalog are also design and engineering services for additive manufacturing, in addition to consulting and training. Ordering online is easy with instant quotes.

Like Materialise, Protolabs has two sides: a more industrial side just called Protolabs and a online platform with slightly more options, called Protolabs Network. The Network option has more offerings because it is a “network” of 3D printing partners, while Protolabs has its own manufacturing facilities in Germany and the US.

Although Protolabs’ MJF 3D printing service has a very limited material range, including only PA12, GF PA12 (US only), the company has a fleet of MJF machines and can offers lead times as short as one business day for MJF-printed components. Plus Protolabs is an official HP partner.

For post-processing services, Protolabs’ offers smoothing and vapor smoothing and black dye. The company can apply taps and inserts into MJF components, plus part assembly.

Unlike many other companies on this list, Protolabs doesn’t offer separate design services, but they have a nice library of design tips and guide materials available to help businesses new to 3D printing.

Our next HP MJF certified manufacturing partner is Oregon based RapidMade.  Although company offers a full-spectrum of engineering and manufacturing services for everything from prototyping to replacement parts, it has a special focus on MJF calling it “the fastest, most cost effective plastic printing solution on the market.”

Where the company lacks MJF materials, they only offer PA12 and TPU, it makes up for in finishes. RapidMade can match any color if you send them a swatch, plus coat your parts with electrostatic dissipation coating if you’re manufacturing housings for electronics. There’s also a variety of smoothing and the company will insert taps and can CNC MJF parts if your as-printed tolerances are not tight enough.

RapidMade has a $150 order minimum and an instant quoting tool.

Sculpteo is one of the biggest names in 3D printing services with a wide range of offerings. Despite the fact that it spells Multi Jet Fusion as Multijet Fusion on its platform, it does know what it’s doing when it comes to the technology — it’s a certified HP Digital Manufacturing Partner.

When you upload your digital file to Sculpteo’s instant quoting system and select MJF, you’ll see prices for all four MJF materials — PA12, PA11,  PU, and PP — with a green leaf by the PA11 options, since it’s a plant-based nylon as opposed to PA12, which is a fossil fuel-based material.

Material can be painted (14 colors) or dyed (3 colors), and the company also offers polishing and chemical smoothing. PP parts aren’t eligible for surface processing. Sculpteo says all materials are a good fit for end-use products, from automotive parts to consumer goods. Furthermore, PA12 can make functional prototypes.

Sculpteo’s MJF-printed parts have lead times ranging from 2-15 business days, depending on part complexity, material, and surface finishing. The ordering process gives instant quotes and includes handy CAD analysis and repair tools. Sculpteo also provides 3D part design and consultation, laser cutting services, and an extensive library of support and educational documents.

• Materials: Nylon PA12, nylon PA11, TPU01, PP
• Lead times: 2-15 business days
• Additional services: CAD analysis and repair tools, CAD design, consultation, documentation and resources, dyeing, painting, vapor smoothing, vibratory finishing
• Certifications: ISO 9001:25, ISO 14001: 2015, AS9100D, ITAR, RoHS

Uptive may be a new name to 3D printing services but that’s only because it’s the combination of service providers GoProto, Re3DTech, Stanfordville, and Phoenix Proto.

This collection of service providers has pooled its MJF offerings, which are quite substantial. The company not only offers the full range of MJF materials, but an impressive menu of post processing, and services. In fact, the company shines in post-processing options. Uptive can finish parts with vapor smoothing, cerakote ceramic surfacing, or metal plating. It can also apply hydrographics, clear coats, and dye or paint parts.

The company was among the first six businesses accepted into the HP Digital Manufacturing Network. As such, the quality of their parts is really not in question.

Uptive’s concept modeling service can help you turn our rough CAD files into print-ready 3D models for various technologies. The company does not offer online instant quoting.

Weerg is an on-demand manufacturing company based Italy and boasts a fleet of more than 21 HP Multi Jet Fusion 3D printers to make parts for its European customers. The machines operate 24/7 enabling them to make runs of thousands of parts in just a few days and at a lower cost than traditional technologies, such as injection molding, the company says.

Weerg has a good library of four materials, giving it the ability to print parts for a great range of applications from fast prototyping to end-use components.

Weerg is another company that shines in MJF part post-processing, more precisely in applying colors (red, blue, black, green) in matte and gloss finishes. They can also add a soft-touch black finish to all MJF printed components.

Weerg offers instant quotes through its website, but it also does customized quotes for special orders, such as when you don’t have a CAD model for your part. Custom quote requests get a response within one working day. You can also ask Weerg to verify your parts’ printability during ordering. The company ships worldwide with relatively fast lead times and offers an extensive NDA contract.

Weerg is also a certified HP Digital Manufacturing Partner.

Our last-but-not-least service is Belgium-based Zigg Zagg, another option for European customers. It is a manufacturing service provider that once only offered MJF 3D printing but has since branched out. It has 10 HP machines offering a range of materials and post-processing options.

Zigg Zagg can guide you through how to apply MJF to you product needs and understand its benefits and limitations all the way from design through to mass production. The company can help you understand MJF and design your part for it. It also offers 3D scanning of your current part to turn it into a 3D printed part faster.

Of course, Zigg Zagg is also a certified HP Digital Manufacturing Partner.

Only one company makes MJF 3D printers: HP. Even though the technology is a type of binder jetting, MJF is proprietary and comes with some unique features that make it popular.

The technology gets its name from the multiple inkjet heads used in the printing process. The processes of material recoating and agent distribution and heating are carried out by separate head arrays that move across the print bed in different directions, allowing the operator to optimize both processes independently.

MJF vs SLS 3D Printing: Decision Maker's Guide

The MJF printer lays down a layer of material powder on the printing bed, then an inkjet head runs across the powder and deposits both a fusing and a detailing agent onto it. An infrared heating unit then moves across the print. Wherever a fusing agent is added, the underlying layer melts together, while the areas with the detailing agent remain a powder. The powdery parts shed off, producing the desired geometry.

The technology eliminates the need for supports that must be removed in a separate step because the powder bed supports the finished layer. Furthermore, each new material and agent layer is placed while the previous layer is still molten. This lets both layers fuse completely, delivering both durability and fine detail.

MJF can achieve very fast print speeds, making it an excellent choice for prototyping and fast production cycles. Due to the lack of supports, it offers great design freedom. The materials have high-quality surface details and mechanical properties, and they resist heat, abrasion, and chemicals. Consequently, MJF can produce end-use parts for demanding applications. The parts can also be dyed or painted during printing or post-processing, depending on the printer models.

In addition to part quality and materials, there’s another reason to select MJF over other technologies, such as polymer selective laser sintering (SLS) or binder jetting and that is consistency.

Because all MJF printers are manufactured by HP and all the materials are also made by HP, all 3D printing services listed below can, theoretically, offer the same part quality. No matter where you get your MJF part printed, you should end up with the exact same result.

This means that your company can have parts printed at services closest to where ever the part is needed and be assured of consistency.

However, just because all MJF printers are the same, doesn’t mean all MJF on-demand service providers are. When selecting your printing partner, focus on lead times, materials libraries, and additional services — such as coloring, polishing, chemical smoothing, design consulting, and NDA contracts — when choosing the best service for your purposes.
