How Does Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) Benefit the Production of Plastic Parts for Consumer Electronics?
High Surface Quality and Fine Detail Resolution
Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) delivers superior surface finishes and sharp feature definition, essential for the aesthetic and tactile requirements of consumer electronics. MJF achieves surface roughness values around Ra 6–12 µm in the as-printed state, which can be easily improved through surface finishing or painting, making it ideal for outer casings, enclosures, and visible components.
Consistent Mechanical Properties for Functional Housings
MJF produces isotropic mechanical properties across all axes, which ensures structural reliability for snap-fit parts, integrated clips, and load-bearing plastic features. Materials such as Nylon PA12 and PA12GB (glass-filled nylon) are commonly used for their strength, dimensional stability, and fatigue resistance, especially in device frames, mounts, and interface panels.
Fine Feature Capability for Internal Components
MJF enables the production of small, high-resolution features such as integrated cable guides, micro-latch systems, and battery compartments. This precision allows designers to consolidate parts and reduce assembly steps in tight electronic packaging, improving product integration and manufacturability.
High Throughput for Small- to Mid-Volume Production
MJF builds parts layer-by-layer using a fusing and detailing agent, allowing multiple components to be packed densely in a single build. This leads to faster production cycles and lower per-unit costs—ideal for short-run or customizable electronics such as smart home devices, wearables, or tech accessories.
