Meet HP 3D printing materials talent
What 3D innovation excites you the most?
Sterling Chaffins
Senior Scientist, 3D Printing Materials and Advanced
Applications, HP
“Multi-Jet Fusion voxel control is incredibly exciting from a
materials standpoint. Since our 3D printing technology can
change the material properties drop by drop, we are able to
create 3D parts that vary material properties within the part
and are impossible to create any other way. It’s great to be
a part of the HP team driving a technology to generate new
materials for new applications with a path toward high volume
manufacturing."

“3D Innovation is just starting. Coming from the traditional
plastic industry, making new materials printable with MJF is
very challenging. This makes it so intriguing and gratifying at
the same time. There are daily experiences that put us on a
progressing path in which more and more things are reachable.
Making the unbelievable and discovering the unthinkable
paths for digital manufacturing is a real excitement. Working
with a team of numerous talents helps us move faster to the
unreachable. It is an honor to be a part of HP 3D Printing to make
a difference in the world."

3D Materials Scientist, R&D, HP
“It is exciting to be part of a new manufacturing revolution, and
a new business at HP. 3D printing enables new applications
not possible by traditional methods. The creativity in our teams
and our customers is very motivating and at the same time
challenging for the next generation materials. I am impressed
by the talent across different sites and the creativity to do the
impossible, and proud to be contributing to the project."

Writing Systems Engineer, 3D Printing Open Materials
Platform, HP
“Digital manufacturing reduces the barriers to entry into design,
prototyping, and production. As 3D printing technologies
permeate into the world beyond traditional manufacturing, the
expansion of creativity will be enormous. Reductions in cycle
time facilitate trying multiple ideas more quickly, and permit
the designer to build ideas previously considered ‘off the wall’,
enabling breakthroughs that may not have otherwise come
about with traditional development, where the risk/reward
trade-off can throttle ingenuity. 3D printing technologies are
reducing limitations while unleashing imagination."
