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.

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection

The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
