Elementum 3D has bought an NXG XII 600 metallic additive manufacturing system and struck a supplies growth settlement with SLM Options.
Based on SLM Options, metal-based additive manufacturing has a necessity for collaboration between {hardware} OEMs and materials suppliers to work collectively in fixing buyer’s issues. The corporate says that the shortage of fabric choices is a lingering downside and is essential to unlocking high-performing elements with high-performance materials necessities.
SLM claims that the aerospace and house industries are wanting to combine new supplies however have confronted numerous challenges with difficult-to-print, extremely sought-after alloys which might be liable to cracking, and are used on account of their versatility, high-strength, and corrosion resistance, which the corporate says is an actual ache level for the “hyperactive” aerospace trade.
The brand new collaboration between SLM Options and Elementum 3D goals to unravel these challenges via designing unique aluminium 2023 and 6061, or aerospace grade 7050 and 7075, for SLM know-how in 2023. A purpose of the partnership is to additional improve materials choices on the 12-laser know-how used to print end-use elements travelling to house.
Elementum 3D says that its RAM know-how ensures secure processing and profitable consequence of additively manufactured elements with these difficult-to-print supplies, which opens new potentialities when it comes to element measurement, processing speeds, and materials properties.

The partnership goals to create parameters and market Elementum 3D supplies to be used in SLM machines, notably the NXG XII 600. The businesses say it will improve the publicity for Elementum 3D supplies and can quickly increase the fabric choice for the 12-laser machine.
“This sturdy partnership will allow our purpose of empowering our prospects to attain theirs. It is going to pave a path for an enhanced materials portfolio enabling better-performing functions and new enterprise circumstances. We sit up for this partnership attaining new heights in AM and accelerating idea-to-production platform for our prospects,” stated Sam O’Leary, CEO of SLM Options.
Jacob Nuechterlein, President and Founding father of Elementum 3D, stated: “We’re happy to announce this working settlement with SLM Options. With Elementum 3D’s groundbreaking supplies and SLM Options management in production-sized printers for aluminiums, we are able to supply a full answer to organisations able to take their concepts to manufacturing.”
