HP and Hyperion Partner to Scale Tungsten Carbide on Metal Jet
Hyperion has installed an HP Metal Jet S100 in Barcelona, with the partners offering a path from CarbiForm tungsten carbide prototyping to production.
HP and Hyperion Materials & Technologies have signed a preferred-partner agreement for tungsten carbide parts. Hyperion installed an HP Metal Jet S100 at its Barcelona site in October 2026 and is offering prototyping and commercial production.
HP supplies the binder-jet platform, while Hyperion provides CarbiForm powder, sintering, and finishing. CarbiForm has been tested with Metal Jet and Hyperion's own sintering route; the companies now plan to qualify applications with customers.
No third-party performance data, named customers, or production volumes were disclosed. Claims about complex geometry and material efficiency come from the partners' announcement.
Key facts
- Hyperion installed an HP Metal Jet S100 in Barcelona in October 2026
- CarbiForm was tested with Hyperion's sintering route
- Application development and qualification will proceed with customers
Context
A combined printer, powder, and sintering route could lower the barrier to binder-jet production of hard-metal parts.
