Additive Manufacturing Solutions Ltd. (AMS), located in Burscough, Lancashire, UK, has expanded its in-house capabilities with the acquisition of a Nikon SLM Solutions SLM 280 2.0 Additive Manufacturing machine. AMS is developing and creating metal powders for AM from recycled parts. This circular economy approach to material development, alongside the SLM 280 2.0 system, is said to provide a step change in AM sustainability.

“With the integration of the SLM 280 2.0 into our operations, we are poised to revolutionise the material and process capabilities within the Additive Manufacturing (AM) industry. This advancement is coupled with our pioneering Additive Manufacturing Academy, set to deliver hands-on experience and groundbreaking training in Additive Manufacturing,” stated Robert Higham, CEO of AMS.
