Is your manufacturing process caving in to cavitation? Additive Manufacturing Media has an incredible breakdown of what Emerson and Baker Hughes managed to accomplish with Nikon SLM Solutions technology.
Learn how laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) metal 3D printing is making it faster and easier to produce complex anti-cavitation devices for valves. By leveraging advanced 3D printing capabilities, Emerson and Baker Hughes have reduced lead times, costs, and manufacturing complexities, paving the way for more efficient and reliable fluid systems.
We're excited to announce Nikon SLM Solutions' role in the groundbreaking MagNEO project!
Partnering with a dynamic European consortium, we're pushing the limits of additive manufacturing to develop advanced, sustainable magnetic solutions for energy and mobility. Our latest innovations in REE-free AlNiCo alloys are set to transform how permanent magnets are produced, aligning with Europe's ambitious green transition goals.
Josephin Enz, PHD, Dr.-Ing., IWE, Future Technologies at Nikon SLM Solutions says: "Through the MagNEO project, we are not just redefining the capabilities of additive manufacturing; we are setting a new standard for sustainability in the production of permanent magnets. Our innovative approach not only enhances product performance but also significantly lessens our environmental impact, paving the way for a greener future in high-tech industries."
