The Problem

MJF problems we hear every week

MJF is fast and strong. It also has traps. Here is what goes wrong — and how our China manufacturing company fixes it.

01

Quotes hide the real cost

MJF is priced by the build box, not just material. Suppliers bury that and the invoice surprises you.

  • Itemized quote in 24 hours
  • Clear cost per part and per build
  • No tooling charges, ever
02

Parts come out warped

Big, flat, or thin parts curl while they cool. The build fails and you lose a week.

  • Uniform wall thickness advice
  • Build orientation set by our engineers
  • Free DFM before the build
03

The surface is too rough to use

As-printed MJF has a grainy, sandy feel. Some parts need much better.

  • Bead blasting as standard
  • Vapor smoothing for a sealed finish
  • Dyeing in five colors
04

Powder gets trapped inside

Hollow parts need escape holes. Without them, loose powder stays sealed inside forever.

  • We check every hollow design
  • Escape hole placement advice
  • Full de-powdering and cleaning
05

Tolerances slip on bigger parts

Tolerance grows with part size. Small parts hold tight. Large ones drift.

  • ±0.3 mm on small parts
  • Engineer-reviewed tolerance on request
  • We flag what we cannot hold
06

Tooling quotes block your pilot run

You need 200 parts now. Injection molding wants weeks of lead time and thousands in tooling.

  • No tooling, no MOQ
  • Bridge production before molding
  • Same file, scale up later

MJF 101

What is MJF 3D printing, in plain English?

MJF stands for Multi Jet Fusion. It is a 3D printing process that builds strong plastic parts from nylon powder. A thin layer of powder is spread across a build bed. A printhead rolls over it and drops a fusing agent exactly where your part should be.

Then a heat lamp passes over the bed. The powder melts and fuses only where the agent was applied. The bed drops, a fresh layer of powder goes down, and the cycle repeats. Layer by layer, your part grows inside a solid block of powder.

Here is why that matters. The loose powder around your part holds it in place. So no support structures are needed. Complex shapes, nested parts, and even moving assemblies can all be printed in one build — with no tooling and no setup cost.

  • Layers of just 80 microns
  • No supports, no tooling
  • Near-isotropic strength
  • Parts in as fast as 3 days

Not Sure Which Process?

How MJF compares to SLS, FDM, and SLA

Each process has a job. Here is the short version.

MJF vs. SLS

Both use nylon powder and need no supports. MJF is the newer, faster process.

  • MJF prints up to 10× faster
  • Finer minimum feature: 0.5 mm vs 0.762 mm
  • Thinner layers: 80 µm vs 100 µm
  • More balanced X, Y, and Z strength
  • SLS offers a larger build box

Pick MJF for speed, consistency, and volume.

MJF vs. FDM

FDM pushes melted plastic through a nozzle. MJF fuses powder in a bed.

  • MJF shows no visible layer lines
  • MJF is stronger and near-isotropic
  • MJF handles complex, nested geometry
  • FDM is cheaper for simple one-off shapes
  • FDM has more color and material choices

Pick MJF for working parts and small batches.

MJF vs. SLA

SLA cures liquid resin with a laser. MJF fuses nylon powder with heat.

  • MJF parts are tougher and production-ready
  • MJF does not degrade in UV or moisture
  • SLA gives a smoother finish and finer detail
  • SLA is better for clear or display models
  • MJF is better for living hinges and snap fits

Pick MJF for parts that must actually work.

MJF vs. Injection Molding

Molding is cheaper per part at high volume. MJF has no tooling at all.

  • MJF needs no mold and no setup cost
  • MJF ships in days, not weeks
  • MJF lets you test the market first
  • Molding wins on very high volumes
  • Use MJF as a bridge, then switch

Pick MJF for prototypes, pilots, and bridge runs.

Still not sure? Send us the part and we will recommend the process that costs less and performs better for your application.

FAQ

MJF 3D printing — frequently asked questions

MJF (Multi Jet Fusion) is a powder bed 3D printing process that builds strong nylon parts layer by layer. Use it when you need functional parts, complex geometry, or a short production run without paying for tooling. It is a common bridge to injection molding.
PA12 and PA11 nylon, PA12 with 40% glass bead, polypropylene (PP), and flexible TPU 88A. PA12 is the workhorse. PA11 is more flexible and impact-resistant. Glass-filled is stiffer and more heat resistant. We will recommend the grade based on your strength, heat, and flexibility needs.
±0.3 mm, or ±0.3% of the part size, whichever is larger. On small, well-designed parts we can hold tighter. Tolerance grows with part size, so we review anything critical before the build and flag what we cannot hold.
Both are about 0.5 mm. We recommend 1.0 mm for features that must be reliable and repeatable. Thin walls also warp more easily, so keeping wall thickness uniform helps a lot.
Our build box is 380 × 285 × 380 mm, so a single part can be up to that size. Because parts are nested, many smaller parts can share one build. Larger assemblies can be printed in sections and joined.
Send your 2D or 3D files (STEP, STL, IGES, 3MF, or a clear PDF). Most quotes come back within a few hours on business days, and we guarantee a response within 24 hours.
Rush parts can ship in as little as 3 business days. Standard MJF orders run 2–5 business days after file approval, depending on quantity and finishing. We confirm the date with your quote.
MJF is priced by the size of the build box your parts occupy, not just the material used. Bigger parts and lower nesting density cost more. Finishing, dyeing, and vapor smoothing add cost. We always send an itemized quote so you can see exactly what you are paying for.
No strict MOQ. We print single prototypes and production runs of 10,000+ parts. There is no tooling charge, so small orders stay affordable.
Yes, and it is free with every quote. Our engineers check wall thickness, escape holes, part orientation, and clearances, then suggest small changes that cut cost and improve the result — before the build starts.
Standard is bead blasting, which removes loose powder and evens the texture. We also offer vapor smoothing, vibro polishing, color dyeing, painting, tapping, and heat-set inserts. Tell us how the part will be used and we will recommend a finish.
Absolutely. Every customer file is treated as confidential, and we are happy to sign a mutual NDA before you share detailed designs. Your files are never shared with third parties without your written approval.
