1. Based on comparable competitive binder jetting and selective laser melting (SLM) metals 3D printing solutions available as of July 31, 2018. Productivity claim based on: 1) up to 50 times more productive, on average, based on print speed for serial production up to 100,000 parts, and 2) solution acquisition cost.

2. Low cost based on comparable competitive binder jetting and selective laser melting (SLM) metals 3D printing solutions available as of July 31, 2018. Expected printer price for 2020 launch for lead customers.

3. Compared to selective laser melting (SLM) and based on internal testing of HP Metal Jet technology, as of September 2018.

4. HP does not provide manufacturing services. Customers work directly with and pay for manufacturing services provided by a trusted third-party manufacturing partner responsible for fulfilling the order. HP provides design compatibility check for HP Metal Jet printing. Metal Jet Production Service is expected to be available in Western Europe and US.

5. We currently accept OBJ, STL, 3MF, X_T (Parasolid), STEP, and IGES files.

6. HP and its manufacturing partners will do design compatibility checks; part production will be fulfilled and delivered by our trusted manufacturing partners with expected availability first half 2019. Metal Jet Production Service is expected to be available in Western Europe and US.

7. Reserve a printer is expected to be available in US, UK, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain. HP Metal Jet printers are expected to become commercially available second half 2020 for lead customers, with expected broad availability in 2021.
