Technical approach

As reported

Selective Laser Melting

Precision metal fusion

SLM uses high-power lasers to melt metal powder in a vacuum or inert atmosphere, enabling production of aerospace-grade parts with complex internal features.

Large Format

NXG platform for production scale

Build envelopes up to 600×600×1500 mm with multiple independent lasers enable production of large, complex aerospace components in a single build.

Material Range

Aerospace-qualified alloys

Systems support aluminum, titanium, steel, nickel-based super-alloys and cobalt-chromium, all critical for jet engines and structural parts.
