Martin Thordén

GKN Aerospace and Permanova, VP of Permanova

We are delighted to be working with Nikon SLM Solutions and using their quad-laser machines. Rolls-Royce continues to develop our additive layer manufacturing capability to ensure we are at the forefront of advanced manufacturing. We knew that transferring our expertise and knowledge gained from single laser machines to multi-laser platforms would require a close working relationship and Nikon SLM Solutions have provided this.

Neil Mantle

Rolls-Royce, Head of Additive Layer Manufacturing

Nikon SLM Solutions’ latest technology will help Honeywell improve productivity while also meeting our material requirements for qualification...We intend to qualify these parameter sets through repeatability testing in our production environment, including build and post-processing to generate an efficient process with a set of material property data...the open architecture system of the Nikon SLM® machine provides huge advantages like high flexibility and parameter sets can be customized. With this open access strategy and the great support of Nikon SLM Solutions, we step forward to achieving our next goals.

Dr. Sören Wiener

Honeywell, Senior Director Technology & Advanced Operations

Partnering with Nikon SLM Solutions has equipped us with unparalleled technological support, enabling us to expand into new markets beyond our traditional scope...These advanced SLM®280 PS systems empower us to enhance our operational efficiency and cater to the intricate needs of the aerospace industry.

Conrad Kao

Howco, Director of Additive Manufacturing

We chose Nikon SLM Solutions as a partner, because of their expertise and the SLM®800 machine, which exactly meets our requirements in terms of machine size and reliability.

Thierry Berenger

Safran, Additive Manufacturing Project Leader

Safran is engaged in reaching carbon neutrality for aviation by 2050. Additive manufacturing is one of the main assets to secure this ambitious but realistic target, enabling to develop innovative architecture on our products, as long as reducing significantly their weight. Equipment such as the NXG XII 600 will be part of this challenging journey

Francois-Xavier Foubert

Safran, General Manager Additive Manufacturing

Additive layer manufacturing enables the delivery of complex high-performing assemblies which cannot be manufactured using conventional techniques. For example, these combustor tiles include cooling holes which turn the air through 180 degrees maximising efficiency whilst reducing emissions. This repeat order reflects the close and successful relationship between the Rolls-Royce and SLM teams.

Richard Mellor

Rolls-Royce, Chief Manufacturing Engineer

We are a company that wouldn't exist without additive manufacturing. The SLM®500 gives us exactly what we need, for example, to manufacture antennas used on space missions. The atomic oxygen in the atmosphere virtually sandblasts the parts. They also must withstand high heat loads, and extreme temperature cycling, on other planets. The SLM® parts are not only lightweight, but they can also manage harsh conditions and are particularly robust with excellent performance.

Janos Opra

Optisys, CEO

Cyient has successfully designed and manufactured metal additive components for some of its key customers—our most recent achievement being the delivery of tooling components for a large aircraft engine manufacturer. The new SLM®280 will enable us to offer manufactured components directly to our customers in the aerospace, defense, medical and energy industries. This is a key milestone on our road to becoming an end-to-end additive manufacturing solutions provider.

Rajendra Velagapudi

Cyient, SVP & Global Operation Head

This new manufacturing technology is technically and economically interesting for us. Possible use cases are especially prototypes in the development phase, special and small series production as well as for motor sport and classic spare parts.

Falk Heilfort

Porsche, Development Engineer

Some of the most innovative use cases for Formetrix L-40 powder were developed and printed using Nikon SLM machines. This proven performance made Nikon SLM machines the perfect fit for our initial production product lines.

Greg Rizzo

MacLean Additive, Vice President & General Manager

Proof that additively produced metal components can cope with extreme strength, stiffness and temperature requirements at speeds of over 375 km/h with a braking force of 1.35g and brake disc temperatures up to 1,100°C.

Frank Götzke

Bugatti, Head of New Technologies

With the advanced material knowledge of Sandvik and the parameter freedom of the SLM® machine, we plan to develop top-quality parameters targeting the specific needs of our high-performance automotive and racing customers...Through the replacement of single laser products with SLM Solutions` multi-laser technology we are able to increase our productivity and provide competitive pricing to our customers. By partnering with Nikon SLM Solutions, we can meet our customer`s requirements to build high quality parts at increased productivity and expand our facilities.

Mauro Antolotti

BEAMIT, Chairman and Founder

3D printing technology has given us a lot of leeway to experiment creatively with design, while at the same time being able to optimize a product’s function...The collaboration with DTI has led us to develop and produce gears in a radically new design form that is only possible with 3D printing.

Carsten Ebbesen

CeramicSpeed, R&D Manager

The development of new systems and components has to be much faster today than it was a few years ago, especially when it comes to solutions for sustainable CO2-neutral drive systems...With our new 3D printing center and Nikon SLM Solutions as a technology partner, MAHLE is once again stepping up the pace in its strategic fields, for example, E-mobility.

Michael Frick

MAHLE, CFO

Our medium-term goal is to position ourselves as an innovative 3D printing supplier in Central Europe. With the targeted expansion of our machine park, we can further expand our competence. With the two new Nikon SLM Solutions machines, we will be able, in particular, to produce metal parts and prototypes in medium to high volumes even more effectively and precisely. We can serve more materials within the shortest possible time thanks to the new machines. The recent very high demand for our 3D printing services has made the purchase inevitable.

Patrick Herzig

M&H CNC GmbH, CEO

With the integration of the SLM®280 2.0 into our operations, we are poised to revolutionize the material and process capabilities within the additive manufacturing (AM) industry. This advancement is coupled with our pioneering Additive Manufacturing AcademyTM, set to deliver hands-on experience and groundbreaking training in additive manufacturing.

Robert Higham

Additive Manufacturing Solutions Ltd, CEO

During Eureka`s AM journey we have seen the advantages of additive manufacturing as it has allowed us to "think outside of the box" from a traditional perspective. The technology allows more freedom in design, and we have implemented this in several of our existing pumps that has been a part of energy optimization and CO2 reduction projects, several parts could not have been produced traditionally.

Jone Haugvaldstad

Eureka Pumps, Re-Engineering & Additive Manufacturing

This impeller has disclosed several technical innovations and provided beneficial values to the final application on marine engines. We have achieved a lightweight component we would have never imagined creating before this project, and this application creates new sparks for more AM applications in the marine industry.
