HP's New IF 3D 600HT enables printing with New Materials

Feb 12, 2026 9:35:53 AM

HP has just introduced the HP IF 3D 600HT, a high temperature industrial filament printer developed from the proven 3DGence Industry F421 platform—a system Cimquest has supported for years.

Many manufacturers tell us they’re struggling with applications that require more from their materials: greater heat resistance, improved chemical durability, or a lightweight alternative to metal. The 600HT addresses these challenges by enabling printing with ULTEM, PEEK, PAEK, and carbon fiber reinforced polymers—materials that aren’t achievable on powder bed systems like MJF or SLS.

 

Organizations working in aerospace, energy, medical, rail, and automotive also frequently ask for better consistency when working with high performance polymers. The system’s integrated Materials Management System (MMS) helps resolve these issues by drying, conditioning, and even annealing materials like PEEK to improve strength and ensure repeatable output.

Because this platform is built on an architecture our team already knows well, M5D customers can move into high performance filament printing without the uncertainty that typically comes with adopting a new technology. The 600HT simply extends HP’s ecosystem into applications where customers have been asking for more capability and more material flexibility.

A few questions to consider:

  • Are heat, chemicals, or load causing failures with your current printed parts?
  • Would access to ULTEM, PEEK, or carbon fiber–reinforced polymers change what you can take on?
  • Is variability in filament printing limiting your ability to produce repeatable, production‑grade parts?
  • How important is an open, industrial workflow for your next round of applications?

If any of these sound familiar, connect with us and we can compare notes and see whether the 600HT fits your workflow.
