3D Printing Solutions for Aerospace and DefenseTake off with additive manufacturing for Aerospace and Defense. Nikon SLM Solutions Systems help meet stringent industry standard certification to make complex parts that cannot be machined and improve the performance and functionality of the component. Selective Laser Melting gives engineers the design freedom to consolidate parts to reduce mass and cost, ultimately making strategic weight decisions where needed.Whether you are making one or many, the sky’s the limit – we help ensure your success with metal additive manufacturing. Find out more about the numerous manufacturing possibilities using Nikon SLM^® technology in the Aerospace and Defense industry below.

“SLM Solutions is a powerful, long-term strategic partner for Divergent 3D, working with us to provide 3D metal printing hardware and software specific to the Divergent Adaptive Production System™. We believe that this will transform the way vehicle structures are designed, engineered, manufactured and assembled.”

– KEVIN CZINGER, CEO AT DIVERGENT

Thrust Chambers

Selective Laser Melting can be used to manufacture monolithic thrust chambers, combining multiple parts into one part. 3D printing lattice structures and internal cooling channels additionally lead to an improved part quality while reducing weight and save fuel.

Heat Exchangers

Selective Laser Melting offers a freedom of design second to none. The use of 3D printing a heat exchanger enables the creation of highly complex geometries inside the internal core, increasing its surface area. This ultimately allows the thermal heat rejection to significantly increase.

Jet Engines

Selective Laser Melting makes it possible to produce jet engines with clean combustion, improved durability and higher efficiency. Nikon SLM^® technology leads to cost advantages compared to casting and milling at low-volume production of complex parts and shortened development cycles due to tool-less production.
