The above reads like a rather powerful collaboration to me.

"NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J., May 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/
­­ Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) today announced
a collaboration between Johnson & Johnson Services,
Inc. and a subsidiary of HP Inc. The collaboration is
focused on using 3D printing technologies to create
better health care outcomes at reduced costs. Working together, the companies plan to combine their
scientific, clinical, material science and technological
expertise, and deep insights to develop products and
solutions which can be manufactured quickly and
customized to the needs of an individual patient or
consumer.
In the near­term, the collaboration will focus on
personalization of instrumentation and software for
patient­specific healthcare devices. It is anticipated
that 3D printing technology will lead to innovation in
areas such as orthopaedics, eye health and consumer products, among others.
"The intersection of technology and health care is spurring innovation that will have a profound impact on
patients and consumers all over the world," said Sandra Peterson, Group Worldwide Chairman, Johnson &
Johnson. "Combined with advances in data mining and software, 3D printing could enable distributed
manufacturing models and patient­specific products, therapies and solutions that deliver better outcomes,
better economics and improved global accessibility. This collaboration with HP Inc. exemplifies our
commitment to harnessing new technology to improve outcomes and reduce costs across the health
continuum."
"Advances in 3D printing technology have the potential to break historical paradigms of health care delivery
in ways that are not feasible in traditional manufacturing processes," said Stephen Nigro, president of HP's
3D printing business. "Together with Johnson & Johnson we have the potential to create opportunities and
innovations in health care to improve patients' lives that neither company could develop alone."
The collaboration announced today has already begun, with teams of experts from both organizations
working together."
