ONE3D sro, based in Mohelnice, Czechia, has acquired an NXG 600E Laser Beam Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-LB) Additive Manufacturing machine from Nikon SLM Solutions. The investment is expected to support the company’s work with aerospace and defence clients, including its role as an industrial partner in Lockheed Martin’s development project for the Czech Army’s F-35 fighter aircraft programme.
This NXG 600E enables the production of parts up to 600 x 600 x 1,500 mm and uses twelve 1 KW lasers. ONE3D has stated that the acquisition aligns with its strategic growth plan, enabling production expansion at high quality.
David Kadlčík, co-founder & CSMO of ONE3D, remarked, “Using technology from Nikon SLM Solutions is a major step forward for our production. We will be able to create complex metal parts with larger dimensions, greater precision, and higher efficiency than ever before. This will allow us to better match designs to Additive Manufacturing capabilities, optimise material and energy consumption, and reduce the time from concept to final product. Working with such an experienced partner gives us the confidence that we are at the forefront of industry practices. I am confident that with this new machine, we will take our capabilities and competitiveness to a whole new level.”
Sam O’Leary, CEO of Nikon SLM Solutions, commented, “We are thrilled to support ONE3D in their journey toward advanced, large-scale Additive Manufacturing. The NXG 600E is engineered to meet the toughest demands of high-performance industries, and with its capabilities, ONE3D is poised to set new benchmarks in precision, productivity, and innovation. We look forward to seeing how they leverage our technology to push boundaries and deliver transformative results for their aerospace and defence clients.”
