ArcelorMittal and HP partner to advance steel Additive Manufacturing
November 12, 2024
ArcelorMittal and HP have announced a strategic collaboration to advance the use of steel in Additive Manufacturing. Together, the partners will work to bring new steel solutions to a sufficient Technology Readiness Level (TRL), then leverage the ArcelorMittal Research Center as an incubator for new applications developed in collaboration with customers.
The move is intended to save customers the initial investment needed to evaluate and qualify the technology, up until the process can be transferred to a contract manufacturer for final industrialisation and production.

“We are thrilled to collaborate with HP in advancing steel Additive Manufacturing,” stated Aubin Defer, Chief Marketing Officer, ArcelorMittal Powders. “This collaboration leverages our combined expertise to develop innovative solutions to drive the industry forward. The promising results of our steel powders with HP’s Binder Jetting technology are a testament to the potential of this partnership.”
By combining HP’s Metal Jet S100 Binder Jet Additive Manufacturing technology with ArcelorMittal’s sustainable steel solutions, the collaboration aims to lower the cost of AM. This, it is hoped, will unlock a range of applications for Additive Manufacturing, particularly in the automotive sector. The partnership will also extend material options, developing steel products with unique properties that are unattainable through conventional manufacturing.
Alexandre Tartas, Global Leader of Metals Sales & Go To Market at HP, added, “We are excited to join forces with ArcelorMittal to push the boundaries of steel Additive Manufacturing. This collaboration will enable us to leverage our technical expertise and ArcelorMittal’s leadership in sustainable steel solutions to create ground-breaking advancements in the industry. Combining the steel expertise of ArcelorMittal and HP Additive Manufacturing positioning in high volume production offers a unique value proposition for the manufacturing industry.”
