On the heels of Morf3D‘s rebranding as Nikon AM Synergy Inc., Nikon Corporation (Nikon) and Nikon Advanced Manufacturing Inc. (Nikon Advanced Manufacturing) inaugurated an AM Technology Center in Long Beach, California.
The 90,000-square-foot (8362 m2) facility marks the next step in the company’s Vision 2030 plan, aiming to establish digital manufacturing (DM) as a key growth pillar. Strategically located to serve aviation, aerospace, and defense clients, the facility is already operational, setting new benchmarks in advanced manufacturing.
Nikon global assets within the Nikon AM Technology Center – Nikon AM Synergy, Nikon SLM Solutions, and Nikon organically developed products are key components of Nikon’s Advanced Manufacturing business unit, established in 2023.
Nikon AM Synergy will work in synergy with the upcoming Nikon SLM Solutions Studios, and Nikon Research and Development. Nikon Research and Development at the center will focus on developing proprietary Nikon technologies, including directed energy deposition (DED) solutions, as well as engineering innovations, demonstrations, and next-generation system development.
Furthermore, given the company’s expertise in metallurgy and metrology, the center will also be equipped with those solutions supporting this way the company’s business initiatives.
It will also rely on ultra-large format laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) tools from Nikon SLM Solutions AG (Nikon SLM Solutions) and high-precision Nikon DED equipment.
Hamid Zarringhalam, CEO of Nikon Advanced Manufacturing, commented, “In under a year, we have made significant strides toward revolutionizing the manufacturing landscape. Our global organization’s concerted efforts, coupled with the trust and support of our partners and customers, enable us to harness our deep expertise and new acquisitions, with the values that Nikon is renowned for globally.”
