Is additive manufacturing finally ready for mass production?


Friday 17 April 2026, 4:00:00 PM


At Manufacturing Technology Centre, it certainly looks that way.

With the installation of the HP Metal Jet S100 – brought together by Matsuura Machinery Ltd and HP Inc – additive is moving beyond prototyping into scalable, real-world production.

“If you had 100g stainless steel parts, you could produce around 50,000 of those a year.”

From reshoring to high-volume flexibility, this technology is changing how manufacturers think about cost, speed, and design. Hear more from Jon Porter of Matsuura Machinery Ltd, Michael Goodwin of HP Inc, and Hoda Amel of MTC.

If you want to see this technology in action, come and see it live at the MACH show this April 20 – 24.
