Nikon SLM Solutions NXG 600E

We are implementing the NXG XII 600E production equipment. We are significantly increasing our capacity and dimensional capabilities in additive metal manufacturing. We are strengthening our position as an important partner for aerospace and defense projects.

Machine information

The NXG 600E is a state-of-the-art industrial system for metal 3D printing (SLM) designed for fast and repeatable production of high-quality functional parts. It excels in high productivity, stable process, and robust production workflow. It is suitable for the production of technically demanding parts. It enables the production of geometrically complex components, reduces weight and the number of assembled parts, and shortens delivery times in the fields of engineering, energy, space/aerospace, and defense.

Main advantages

High production speed
Optimization for large components
Cost-effective production
Improved production flexibility
Minimization of production defects
Compliance with strict quality standards

Production

Our main material for production on the NXG 600E machine is Inconel IN718. This is a nickel superalloy designed for extreme operating conditions. It excels in high strength and stability even at high temperatures, corrosion resistance, and fatigue resistance.

Thanks to its properties, it is used, for example, in the space/aerospace industry, energy sector, and demanding engineering.

How the NXG 600E works

The entire production process takes place in a chamber in which powder is gradually applied in layers across the entire surface. The laser melts and joins precisely defined areas in each layer according to the cross-section shape of the part, which is defined by a 3D computer model. The parts require supports that fix the manufactured part in place and at the same time dissipate excess heat. After production and cooling, the parts are cleaned of excess powder and then heat treated.
