Additive Manufacturing for the Energy Industry

Energy infrastructure demands reliability, cost control, and uninterrupted performance. From oil and gas and petrochemical processing to nuclear, hydrogen, large-scale power generation, and distributed renewables, operators face increasing pressure to reduce downtime, secure supply chains, and extend asset lifecycles. Nikon SLM Solutions delivers industrial additive manufacturing platforms engineered to align part size with productivity, enabling robust processes, lower cost per part, and secure distributed production for critical energy applications.

Streamlined Supply Chain Efficiency
01

Our industrial additive manufacturing platforms enable energy operators to establish smart and lean digital supply chains while maintaining robust, repeatable production processes at scale. Engineered for high productivity and process stability, Nikon SLM systems support large manufacturing volumes with predictable cost per part. By reducing procurement lead times and minimizing asset downtime compared with traditional casting and forging supply chains, operators gain greater operational control, improved uptime, and sustainable lifecycle economics. This is supply chain resilience built on process robustness and production efficiency.

Rapid Asset Deployment
02

Traditional procurement models often struggle with obsolete components, extended lead times, and revenue loss driven by equipment downtime. Nikon SLM systems are designed to align part size with machine productivity, ensuring that even large, complex energy components can be produced economically. This alignment enables efficient replacement of obsolete or long-lead parts while maintaining cost discipline. By bridging the gap between size, productivity, and cost per part, we empower energy operators to deploy assets faster, extend infrastructure lifecycles, and reduce exposure to legacy supply constraints.

Cost-Effective Maintenance Solutions
03

Energy infrastructure requires more than spare parts. It requires qualified, production-ready solutions. Our additive manufacturing platforms enable rapid, on-demand production of critical components while reducing inventory burdens and supply chain risk. Beyond hardware, our Application Engineering team supports full partfull-part development workflows, including design optimization, parameter development, and post-processing strategies. From concept through qualification and serial production, we help operators establish complete, production-ready components designed for performance, durability, and long-term economic viability.

Compliance with Industry Standards
04

Energy applications demand strict adherence to regulatory and performance standards, particularly in nuclear and high-pressure environments. Our Application Engineering teams actively support application qualification aligned with industry standards, including collaborative contributions to frameworks developed with leading institutions such as the French Atomic and Alternative Energies Commission (CEA). Together, we launched MANTRA, a joint innovation hub focused on data collection and validation of large-format additive manufacturing components for nuclear energy applications. From qualification to deployment, we help energy operators manufacture with confidence under the most demanding regulatory environments.

Testimonials

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.

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.

Wärtsila, Additive Manufacturing Engineer

Nikon SLM®'s advanced technology suite, recognized for its precision and reliability, meets our complex design specifications and high-quality standards - essential for mission-critical components in the energy and oil and gas markets.

Luisa Elena Mondora

Valland Spa, General Manager

We are delighted with the results of our collaboration with Nikon SLM Solutions...By using Nikon SLM Solutions' metal 3D printing technology, we are proudly following the request of the O&G majors to take a step forwards: we are no longer speaking about only prototyping, but really making a commitment to launch new product lines and be ready with the digital inventory.

Ivan Arata

Galperti Engineering and Flow Control SPA, R&D Manager

The SLM®280 machine was the only system that delivered the performance we wanted in terms of part quality and production speed.

Jun-Hyeok Lee

KeumYong, Executive VP

We are pleased to continue our successful cooperation with Nikon SLM Solutions. The NXG XII 600 represents the next step for the industrialization of additive manufacturing at MAN Energy Solutions. On the one hand, this machine enables us to manufacture large components using economically competitive AM technology. On the other hand, it helps to make the existing AM business cases even more attractive.
