SLM Solutions' Next Disruption in Additive Manufacturing Vows to Wow

SLM Solutions will unveil a groundbreaking new product at a highly anticipated digital launch event. What's more, its basic subscription comes completely free of charge.

Lübeck, June 18 2021. SLM Solutions invites the industry to a game-changing product launch on June 23 at 5pm CEST. The launch will take place digitally and will be accessible to everyone at SLM-SOLUTIONS.COM/THE-BIG-LAUNCH. The new product empowers the creation of metal components with previously impossible designs and unmatched productivity, reducing overall material usage and minimizing the end-part cost to achieve industrial-scale production.


Sam O'Leary, CEO of SLM Solutions, is enthusiastic about the upcoming product launch "Last year we introduced an industry gamechanger—the NXG ll 600—but we won't stop there. Today, after three years in the making and care of many of the world's most visionary engineers, we are proud to add a new technology to our portfolio."

The groundbreaking product has a record impact on part design and increases the productivity of the entire process by reducing powder consumption and scrap and shortening post-processing times. Likewise, improved thermal management will significantly shorten the build time while substantially reducing part stress. As a result, a surface finish like no other will soon be the new norm.

And—like almost everything they bring to life—it's holistic. On this topic, O'Leary adds, "Why is it is available for most systems in our portfolio? Because we strive to make every new piece of technology meet the demands of every priorly-built machine. We believe that creating truly open architecture is the only way to bring additive manufacturing to its powerful potential."

What's more, the technology's basic subscription will be completely free of charge. O'Leary explains, "The goal is to be relentless in innovation. It's free because we want to empower our partners and customer base. Why should this remain an enablement of just a few when it can benefit all?".

O'Leary concludes that "This new technology is another milestone, not only for us but for the entire industry. As a high-tech company, we are once again shaping the face of additive manufacturing with this product launch. It's the next disruption in the manufacturing industry, so it's worth attending."

What does the next disruption of additive manufacturing look like? SLM Solutions' industry experts will explain on June 23 at 5pm CEST at the online product launch that includes an open discussion. Participation is free of charge.

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
