Nikon SLM Solutions, headquartered in Lübeck, Germany, has highlighted the growing role of in-situ quality assurance as metal Additive Manufacturing moves towards serial production, pointing to its integration of Additive Assurance’s AMiRIS technology across the NXG platform.

AMiRIS Inside provides real-time melt pool and layer analysis on Nikon SLM Solutions’ large-format, multi-laser PBF-LB systems. According to the company, manufacturers are increasingly looking beyond productivity, build volume and laser count towards process data that can support validation and production quality assurance.
