The Challenge: Traditional manufacturing methods for the Fisher™ Cavitrol Hex™ trim device involved complex assembly processes, leading to long lead times and limitations on component lifespan. Fisher Controls sought a more efficient and effective solution to meet the growing demand for larger and more complex components.

The Solution: In collaboration with Nikon SLM Solutions, Fisher Controls leveraged the power of additive manufacturing (AM) to overcome these challenges. By utilizing Nikon SLM Solutions’ advanced Selective Laser Melting (SLM®) technology, they were able to:

• Optimize Performance: Create intricate flow passage shapes that enhance anti-cavitation capabilities.
• Accelerate Production: Significantly reduce lead times and improve manufacturing efficiency.

The Impact:

• Reduced Lead Times: Faster time-to-market for new products.
• Cost Savings: Reduced manufacturing costs and material waste.
• Increased Design Flexibility: The ability to create complex geometries that were previously impossible.
