Features of Lasermeister 100A series

The Lasermeister 100A series makes manufacturing more accessible and easier with metal modeling. It is a machine that Nikon developed based on the concept of creating a "machine that can easily be used by anyone." It is safe and simple to use, so you can easily experience metal additive manufacturing technology.

Equipped with 3D alignment

The Lasermeister 100A series is equipped with 3D alignment function (function to automatically determine the position of the workpiece), which eliminates the need for laborious positioning work after the base material is set, so you can use it easily.

The welding function is easy to use.

Five-axis modeling system

The five-axis mechanism provides drastically enhanced design flexibility with more flexible modeling angles.
Available in Lasermeister 101A and 102A
Additional processing of existing parts
Additional processing of existing parts
Additional processing of existing parts is possible, which is difficult with conventional metal 3D printers. The five-axis mechanism allows metal to be modeled into any shape, providing enhanced functionality and strength with more flexible design.
Repair of cracking and damage
Repair of cracking and damage
The Lasermeister 100A series can directly process a cracked or damaged portion to restore it to its original shape. This makes parts replacement unnecessary, thereby achieving cost and waste reduction.
Here is a time-lapse video introducing five-axis modeling. Please check it out.

Various metals available

The Lasermeister 100A series can perform metal modeling with various metals.
Powder for modelingmetallic powder designated by Nikon
Titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V)
SUS
High-speed steel
Nickel based alloys

Lightweight, compact, and highly safe design

The Lasermeister 100A series is much more compact than conventional metal 3D printers, having only a small footprint.
Lightweight, compact, and highly safe design
The safety of the Lasermeister 100A series was assessed by a third-party certification body according to European Standards. So, you can use it with peace of mind.

※1
The high-efficiency powder nozzle more than doubles the powder usage efficiency compared to conventional powder nozzles.
※2
Observation during modeling. In addition to improving the modeling speed by more than double, it improves dimensional accuracy and surface roughness. It also reduces defects during modeling by maintaining a uniform solidification state.
※3
Stable supply of metal powder. It is possible to use recycled powder without substantially impairing the molding quality. This contributes to environmental protection as well as a reduction in production costs.
※4
Available as a extra-cost option.
