Additive Assurance Partners with Nikon SLM for Metal AM Quality
Additive Assurance is integrating its in-situ monitoring technology with Nikon SLM Solutions' metal 3D printers to enhance quality assurance in the aerospace, defense, energy, and healthcare sectors.
Additive Assurance, a company specializing in in-situ monitoring and quality assurance for metal additive manufacturing, has announced a significant partnership with Nikon SLM Solutions. This collaboration aims to bolster confidence and speed up the adoption of metal additive manufacturing technologies.
The core of Additive Assurance's offering is its AMiRIS product, a technology designed to provide real-time monitoring during the metal 3D printing process. This allows for immediate identification and correction of potential defects, thereby improving the reliability and quality of printed parts.
The partnership with Nikon SLM Solutions, a prominent provider of metal additive manufacturing hardware, is expected to accelerate the integration of AMiRIS into advanced metal AM workflows. Additive Assurance hopes this collaboration will enable them to keep pace with the rapid scaling and technological advancements of metal AM hardware manufacturers.
AMiRIS has already seen adoption across demanding industries such as aerospace, defense, energy, and healthcare, where part integrity and quality are paramount. The integration with Nikon SLM's systems is anticipated to further expand its reach and impact within these critical sectors.
This partnership integrates advanced in-situ monitoring with high-performance metal AM hardware. By providing real-time quality assurance, it directly addresses a key barrier to wider adoption in critical sectors like aerospace. This development contributes to the broader industry push for robust, certified additive manufacturing processes, essential for applications requiring high reliability and traceability.
