Count Toyota R&D Among New Customers of SLM Solutions

SLM Solutions Group AG, a provider of metal-based additive-manufacturing technology, reported late in 2015 that it achieved revenue growth of 80 percent through the first nine months of the year. Part of that growth was attributed to nine orders for its SLM 500HL selective laser-melting system (500 by 280 by 325-mm build box) during the reporting period. Sales also were up significantly year-over-year for other machine models.

New customers included Toyota Central R&D Labs, which ordered an SLM 280HL twin-laser machine (build speed of 20-45 cu. cm./hr., with a 280 by 280 by 350-mm build envelope).
