3D Printing Solutions for EnergyPower up your additive manufacturing for the Energy sector. The Energy industry is known for low-volume, high-mix, making it a viable production line for a highly agile industry. Yearly production volumes range from hundreds to thousands of parts per year, per part design. The elimination of tooling, full design flexibility and being able to immediately redefine production planning are key enablers of a smart and lean supply chain.The traditional business model of energy operators incur a surplus of immobilized capital of spare parts because of procurement lead time and asset downtime cost. AM is measuring parts production and delivery into days opposed to weeks or months enabling the most efficient just-in-time production scenario.Whether you are making one or many, test the waters with AM – we help ensure your success with metal additive manufacturing. Find out more about the numerous manufacturing possibilities using Nikon SLM^® technology in the Energy industry below.

“Nikon 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

Stator Vanes

AM is a smarter and cost competitive alternative to investment casting of stator vanes. The combination of conformal cooling channels and high temperature resistant superalloys increases stator vane operating temperature and therefore increases efficiency and emission reduction.

Fuel Nozzles

Additive Manufacturing is enabling the next generation of combustion through the use of internal channels where fluids can mix for better homogeneity. This enables higher performance and lower emission which is also key to increase H2 content in hydrogen-fueled turbines.

Rotoric Blades

Selective Laser Melting provides benefits in the prototyping of rotor blades, allowing quick and economically viabile testing of different design solutions.

Quality Standards for Energy Industry

We are experts when it comes to qualifying metal parts on our machines, and we are ready to help you each stage of the process. Nikon SLM Solutions supports energy projects with relevant documentation, certificates, pFMEAs, parameters, powders, and more.
