MEET THE NXG XII 600
A NEW ERA IN MANUFACTURING
The NXG Xll 600 is a revolution in industrial manufacturing. The NXG XII 600 was designed for high-volume, serial productions. The arrival of this machine with 12 lasers with 1000 Watts will change supply chains and the common inventory models forever. The integration of this machine in traditional production lines is not just a breakthrough for additive manufacturing, but the start of a new era in manufacturing and metal additive printing. It is built on four core principles: Productivity, size, reliability and safety.

LASER POWER X 12
DAWN OF THE IMPOSSIBLE
With 12 lasers 1000 watts each, we have raised the industry bar to new heights. Productivity and reduced cost per part are the key elements of this machine. 

• Highest speed & productivity available in accordance with industry standards
• Up to 20 times faster compared to a standard single laser system
• Up to 5 times faster than a 4-laser machine
• Double Jump Speed enables build rates of 1000ccm/h
• An unrivaled output of 10.000kg of produced parts per year

THE NGX XII 600 IS UP TO 20X FASTER THAN A STANDARD SINGLE LASER SYSTEM
AND UP TO 5X FASTER THAN THE SLM SOLUTIONS QUAD-LASER MACHINE
12 Lasers is not enough. The whole system was revolutionized to get the maximum out of this combined laser power.

• Reduced laser-off times
• Groundbreaking build speed of the machine
• New gas-flow optimized bi-directional recoating
• Lowest cost per part by reducing costs of production

40% REDUCED FIRE-TO-FIRE TIME

• Integrated Scan Field Partitioning for even load distribution between all 12 lasers
• Automatic build cylinder exchange
• Automatic build start
• External preheating station
• External depowder station
• Reduced skywriting time by 50%

NEXT LEVEL MANUFACTURING
EVOLVING SUPPLY CHAINS FOREVER
Now, more than ever, serial production with additive manufacturing is here. Implementing the NXG XII 600 into your existing supply chain can increase productivity while significantly reducing the cost per part with the potential to take your manufacturing operations to a new level.

OUR LARGEST BUILD ENVELOPE
SIZE MATTERS
The NXG XII 600 can print substantially larger parts at unmatched quality. It’s equally able to produce a higher yield of parts in a single build job. This enables true mass production at unbeatable production costs. The build envelope is optimized for large parts in the aerospace and automotive sectors, as well as high volume productions.

• 600x600x600 mm large build envelope
• 216 litre build cylinder, twice as much as existing machines
• Print large parts or several small parts in a single print job

BUILD CYLINDER PROVIDES 216 LITERS
Takes up to twice as much as existing machines in one build job
Up to 10.000 kg of produced parts per year

LET’S TALK OPTICS
THE MOST COMPACT OPTIC SYSTEM
The NXG XII 600 offers an optic system of unaccomplished compactness.

Tailored laser scanning system designed to fit the large build area and machine setup
Broad and multiple coverage of the entire build area by the 12 lasers
Multiple redundancies on every location in the build area

We have a tailored laser focus size – we call it Zoom function. This function enables spot size definition via a double lens system and is integrated into all 12 optics. It opens new possibilities in the parameter development.

• Alternatable spot sizes in the focal plane boosting the build up rate up to 1000ccm/h
• Hatch distance increased up to 400 µm
• Contours can be built with 80 µm spot size while in the same layer the hatch area can be built with 160 µm spot size
• Even larger spot sizes can be set via a defocus

Maintaining the exact positions of the key components is crucial for a high-quality build. The NXG XII 600 uses a combination of cutting edge technology to create high productivity with state-of-the-art thermal management.

• New coating concept of inner process chamber
• Constant substrate plate temperature independent of the laser power input
• Extended cooling concept to optical modules

GAS FLOW OPTIMISATION
FOR HOMOGENEOUS PART PROPERTIES

The NXG XII 600’s gas flow system is the result of many years of intensive work. Here, the finest conceptual ideas were implemented and state-of-the-art engineering tools used to bring about a gas flow system unlike any other available on the market.

• Consistent shielding gas flow over the whole build chamber possible through optimal flow in-and outlets
• Flow-optimised chamber design and metal sintered wall technology for the build chamber

PARAMETER DEVELOPMENT
OPENING NEW POSSIBILITIES
With the optimized gas flow set up the NXG XII 600 is able to achieve homogeneous part properties all over the building platform. The zoom functionality of the optical system opens new possibilities in the parameter development.

• Increased beam diameter of 160 micrometers and increased hatch distance of up to 400 micrometers possible
• Less vectors
• Less turnarounds

MATERIAL PROPERTIES
FREEDOM OF CHOICE
Up to now it was not possible to build parts out of nickel-based alloys or steels with laser power of more than 350 Watts. The zoom functionality enables you to use increased laser power of up to 800 Watts. In these material groups we expect significant jumps in build-up rates compared to aluminum, where we already achieved very high built up rates in the past. For aluminum alloys, we expect higher build up rates, nonetheless, not only because of the use of 12 lasers.

• No limitations regarding materials
