Blazin Rodz and HP Additive Manufacturing Solutions Drive the Future of Automotive Innovation

Blazin Rodz, in collaboration with HP Additive Manufacturing Solutions, is redefining the future of automotive customization and performance - turning sci-fi into street reality – think a modern-day superhero car reimagined with 3D-printed muscle. Using HP’s Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) tech, they’ve created a custom-built beast that doesn’t just look futuristic – it is the future.
 
Named SEMA 2024’s Best Engineered Vehicle of the Year, this ride isn’t a showpiece – it’s a fully functional, performance-driven machine packed with over 75 MJF-printed parts, including one designed using HP’s AI Text to 3D Solution. From wild design freedom to engineering-grade strength, every piece was crafted to push limits, not follow rules. With MJF’s speed, cost-efficiency, and superior performance, Blazin Rodz overcomes the limitations of traditional methods, delivering engineering-grade 3D printed components that outperform conventional alternatives. Built for bold individuality, every detail is crafted for a truly unique driving experience
 
By leveraging HP’s cutting-edge Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) technology, Blazin Rodz is breaking barriers in design, speed, and efficiency – redefining the boundaries of what’s possible in automotive manufacturing. From unique builds to low-volume production, this partnership brings visionary designs to life with precision and flexibility. The custom vehicle demonstrates additive manufacturing’s real-world impact, featuring durable, functional, and visually refined final parts.
 
“The gap between automotive OEM and aftermarket is closing and Blazin Rodz is honored to partner with the team at HP, who’s also as passionate and dedicated to leading the charge as we are, to demonstrate how there really are no limits anymore when it comes to leveraging CAD Design and 3D printing to build high-performance custom vehicles faster and better,” said Riccardo Salatino, Partner/Master Builder for Blazin Rodz.
 
Waylon Jeffrey, 3D Design & Engineering Lead at Blazin Rodz, added, “There’s no way we could ever design and engineer vehicles as extreme, precise, and drivable as we do at Blazin Rodz -in under a year- without CAD design and 3D printing. HP’s Multi-Jet Fusion (MJF) printing is a game-changer for the entire industry, and we are committed to finding smart and innovative applications of it with every signature part we develop and every custom car we build moving forward.”
 
Attendees can experience this cutting-edge custom vehicle firsthand at HP’s booth and see how 3D printing is reshaping the road ahead.

Eaton Introduces Circuit Protector Lock-On Device, Leveraging Additive Manufacturing for Cost-Effective Production

Eaton, a global leader in power management solutions, has launched the Circuit Protector Lock-On Device, designed for Compact Circuit Protector Disconnect Switches up to 60 amps. This innovative locking device ensures critical circuits, such as fire alarm systems, remain securely in the "on" position.
