HP Inc. focuses on 3D printing technologies to revamp the company after the split

HP Inc. has introduced the HP Jet Fusion 3D printing to increase the manufacturing capacity of the company. This move will lead to a cut down of 4000 personnel as a reconstruction move in the next three years in the company.
