76 Additive Produces 12,000 Parts Per Month with HP Multi Jet Fusion Technology from Matsuura

Combining proprietary product manufacturing with subcontract production allows 76 Additive to maximise machine utilisation while maintaining exceptional quality standards.
UK, June 2026 – What kind of machine can produce 12,000 parts in a single month while seamlessly switching between consumer products and subcontract manufacturing work?
For 76 Additive, the answer is the HP Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) technology supplied by Matsuura Machinery Ltd.
Operating in a highly competitive manufacturing environment, 76 Additive has built a business model that combines the production of its own consumer products alongside subcontract additive manufacturing services. This approach enables the company to maximise machine productivity while maintaining the high levels of quality demanded by customers across a wide range of industries.
According to Rob Johnson of 76 Additive, balancing in-house product development with customer manufacturing projects creates a unique advantage.
“When we’re printing and testing our own products every day, we’re constantly validating the quality and performance of our processes. That gives us greater confidence when manufacturing parts for our customers because we’re applying the same standards and scrutiny to every build.”
The company’s HP Multi Jet Fusion systems, supplied by Matsuura Machinery Ltd, provide the flexibility required to efficiently manufacture thousands of components each month, regardless of whether they are destined for 76 Additive’s own product range or for external customers.
By maintaining a continuous production schedule and leveraging the capabilities of additive manufacturing, 76 Additive can rapidly switch between different component types, optimise machine utilisation and deliver consistent quality across every build.
The result is a manufacturing operation capable of producing up to 12,000 parts per month while supporting both product innovation and customer demand.
As additive manufacturing continues to evolve, companies such as 76 Additive are demonstrating how advanced production technologies can be used not only for prototyping but also for scalable, repeatable and commercially viable manufacturing.
