Repair of existing part

Nikon’s metal 3D printer performs additive manufacturing using metal to repair damaged or worn parts. This section shows an actual example of additive manufacturing repair.

Additive manufacturing on existing part

Nikon’s metal 3D printer can add different new shapes to existing parts by performing additive layer manufacturing. This section shows an actual example of additive layer manufacturing.

Function-adding modeling

Nikon’s metal 3D printer can apply a coating to a metal surface using a hard material (such as high speed steel) to, for example, improve wear resistance or form metal Braille dot characters. This section shows an example of manufacturing to improve wear resistance and form metal Braille dot characters.
