Nikon SLM Solutions, trading under the symbol SLGRF on the OTC Markets, is a specialist in metal-based additive manufacturing. Originally founded in 2011 in Lübeck, Germany, the company develops, manufactures and services selective laser melting (SLM) systems for a variety of industrial applications. Its product portfolio includes high-precision 3D printers designed to process materials such as aluminum, titanium and stainless steel, enabling the production of complex metal components for aerospace, automotive, medical and tooling industries.
The company’s SLM machines leverage a layer-by-layer approach, using a laser to selectively fuse metal powder into fully dense parts. Key models in its range vary by build volume, laser configuration and automation features, allowing customers to scale from prototyping efforts to full-scale production. In addition to hardware offerings, Nikon SLM Solutions provides application development, process qualification, training and after-sales support to help users optimize part quality and throughput.
Following its initial public offering on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange in 2014, SLM Solutions expanded its global footprint with sales and support offices across Europe, North America and Asia. In March 2024, Nikon Corporation completed its acquisition of SLM Solutions Group AG, integrating the additive manufacturing specialist into its Precision Equipment business unit. This strategic move aims to combine Nikon’s expertise in optical and metrology technologies with SLM Solutions’ advanced metal 3D printing capabilities.
Serving a diverse customer base of original equipment manufacturers, research institutions and service bureaus, Nikon SLM Solutions continues to invest in R&D and process automation. Its commitment to innovation is supported by a leadership team with deep experience in laser systems, materials science and industrial production, positioning the company to address evolving demands in high-value manufacturing sectors worldwide.
