Nikon SLM previews MACHX ahead of a November Formnext launch
The company’s September update positions MACHX for the middle of the metal additive manufacturing market.
What happened
Nikon SLM Solutions used its September newsletter to preview MACHX, a system aimed at mid-size metal additive manufacturing. A launch is scheduled for November 17 at Formnext.
The preview includes a film about the engineering team and the development effort behind the platform. It establishes the intended market position without supplying a complete specification or a shipping commitment in the newsletter.
The update also discusses monitoring developments for the separate NXG platform. Readers should keep those projects distinct until Nikon publishes the detailed MACHX configuration and supported options.
