Nikon SLM Solutions & Materialise partner to integrate SLM build processors with CO-AM
Summary
The two companies are extending their partnership in response to customer calls for enhanced part quality, competitive pricing and swift production. They believe by integrating the SLM build processors into CO-AM they will equip manufacturers with the right machine and autonomy to customise their 3D printing processes. As Nikon SLM Solutions has worked to develop bigger machines with more lasers, it is processing even more data, and subsequently seeing elongated calculation times. By fine-tuning print parameters, Materialise says usrs will be able to enhance cost efficiency, production speed, and part quality. CO-AM has been designed to allow users to integrate 3D printers into existing production systems, refining the additive manufacturing workflow from order to delivery.
