Review EuroMold 2014: SLM Solutions receives largest individual order in the company’s history

Luebeck, Germany, December 16, 2014 – SLM Solutions Group AG, a leading provider of metal based additive manufacturing technology (also commonly referred to as “3D printing”), presented at EuroMold 2014, the new generation of additive manufacturing systems. SLM Solutions convinced the international experts and in addition several sales were already agreed at the fair.

SLM Solutions underscored in 2014 its competence in the generative manufacturing processes. The company based in Luebeck presented with the new generation of the selective laser melting systems the logical step to production technology to firmly establish the Additive Manufacturing in the process chain in addition to the classical method. The three manufacturing series of SLM Solutions, SLM 125HL, SLM 280HL and SLM 500HL, were presented at the fair. Now the three types of machines have similar 3D optics. So individual developments on the SLM 280HL can be transferred for the production to other machines of the series SLM 280HL and SLM 500HL. On the booth of SLM Solutions, the two systems SLM 280HL and SLM 500HL were exhibited in live operation. With sophisticated design geometries and high performance, the systems demonstrated the reliability in everyday use.

Visitors from the key industries around the world were interested in these innovations and placed additional orders for eight plants during the fair. FIT AG, which already uses several SLM 500HL, decided on the fair to buy another five plants of the type SLM 500HL for production applications. The five systems will be delivered in 2014 and 2015.

Dr. Markus Rechlin, CEO of SLM Solutions Group AG, was very satisfied with the interest in SLM Solutions at EuroMold 2014. "So far, the EuroMold is Europe's most important trade fair for the theme of generative production. We surpassed the good result achieved in the previous year. We have noticed that global demand in this innovative technology is rising. We are very impressed with the numerous discussions and transactions with our international trade visitors."
