SLM Solutions, a German manufacturer, is well-known for its multi-laser metal additive manufacturing solutions for demanding industries such as aerospace and medical technology. The company offers a range of industrial machines including the SLM®500, SLM®800, and the larger NXG XII 600 3D printer, which has a print volume of 600 x 600 x 600 mm. It is 20 times faster than a single-laser solution and five times faster than SLM Solutions’ four-laser machines.

Characteristics of the NXG XII 600

The NXG XII 600 3D printer is equipped with 12 lasers of 1000 W, providing users with increased productivity. The “Double Jump Speed” feature enables manufacturing speeds of up to 1,000cc/h, and SLM Solutions has also paid special attention to gas flow, automatic pressure start, and automatic replacement of the powder cylinder to optimize productivity. The printer has a larger printing plate than other devices in its range and comes with a 216-liter powder cylinder.

SLM Solutions has developed a range of metal alloys compatible with the NXG XII 600 printer, including nickel-based alloys, aluminum, and steel. The printer features a redesigned powder supply system to reduce downtime and ensure optimal material quality. With optimized temperature management, it is possible to produce multiple high-quality parts with minimal error. The NXG XII 600 is an ideal 3D printer for demanding industrial requirements and larger volumes.
