OPTIMIZED DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING WITH NIKON SLM® TECHNOLOGY

Burgmaier leveraged Nikon SLM® technology to redesign the nozzle claw for additive manufacturing, optimizing channel shapes and flow guidance to enhance the tool’s efficiency and reliability. The new design, crafted from case-hardening steel with a 50 μm layer thickness on the SLM® 280, is tailored for series production and features minimal support structures to simplify post-machining.

Key Benefits:

• Improved Cooling Efficiency: The optimized internal channels ensure better cooling medium delivery, enhancing the tool’s performance during high-pressure machining.
• Reduced Manufacturing Costs: The new design reduces the number of machining steps, cutting production costs while maintaining high quality.
• Streamlined Post-Machining: Minimal support structures make post-machining easier, further lowering production time and costs.
