Nikon SLM Solutions<\/a>, a unit of Nikon Advanced Manufacturing and leader in laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) metal additive manufacturing, report that HII\u2019s Newport News Shipbuilding (NNS) division has placed a second NXG 600E order, strengthening its advanced manufacturing capabilities in support of U.S. Navy shipbuilding and the Maritime Industrial Base (MIB). <\/p>\n

The order builds on an earlier NXG 600E acquisition and reflects HII\u2019s investment in large-format metal additive manufacturing to enable production of large, complex components and replacement of legacy castings for naval applications. <\/p>\n

Through close collaboration with HII, Nikon SLM Solutions will lead parameter development and process maturation for L-PBF production of NiAlBr components, expanding material capability for additive manufacturing within U.S. Navy supply chains and supporting long-term maritime readiness. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis second NXG 600E order reflects HII\u2019s leadership and long-term commitment to advancing the maritime industrial base through additive manufacturing,\u201d says Hamid Zarringhalam, CEO of Nikon Advanced Manufacturing and chairman of the Board, Nikon SLM Solutions. \u201cExpanding critical materials capabilities such as Nickel Aluminum Bronze is a foundational part of NikonAdvanced Manufacturing\u2019s holistic approach, combining scalable platforms, material and process development, and U.S.-based production and support. Together with HII, we are enabling additive manufacturing to move from isolated applications to a repeatable, industrial capability that supports U.S. Navy shipbuilding at scale.”<\/p>\n
