Another great earnings call for Q1 2023, two new case studies from Uniformity Labs and Galperti, followed by some exciting press releases by Audiobon and Assembrix. Also, did we mention we managed to print an application at 1000+ ccm/h? Here's this month's scoop:
ANOTHER AMAZING EARNINGS CALL FOR Q1 2023
We are changing the future of manufacturing and have the numbers to prove it! We have another amazing quarter to share with you in our latest earnings call, with revenues of EUR 24.0 m for Q1 2023. We have revenue up 47% YoY and an order intake up 50% YoY which is great news for the global SLM® Team.
We are excited to share our latest case study featuring Uniformity Labs and their innovative solutions for high-density metal powders and advanced manufacturing processes. Using SLM® technology with UniFuse™ Ti6Al4V powder and high-performance scanning parameters, they produced a high-quality payload bracket for an aerospace company with superior mechanical properties, reduced weight, and reduced costs compared to traditional manufacturing methods.

SLM® X GALPERTI CASE STUDY
We collaborated with Galperti Engineering and Flow Control SPA to revolutionize clamp fabrication in the oil and gas industry.
Galperti, a renowned company in engineering and production, chose SLM Solutions' metal 3D printing technology for their new line of clamp connectors. By embracing AM, they achieved remarkable advantages: reduced lead time, eliminated stocking policies, and lowered production costs while maintaining high-quality standards.
SLM Solutions and Assembrix Ltd are announcing a significant milestone in our ongoing collaboration for secure remote 3D printing. The innovative integration of Assembrix VMS™ software into SLM Solutions' machines, using advanced blockchain and encryption technologies, is setting a new industry standard for the protection of intellectual property in additive manufacturing.
Already adopted by Nanyang Polytechnic's Additive Manufacturing Innovation Centre, this secure, cloud-based solution is set to revolutionize the manufacturing industry by facilitating safe, remote printing arrangements while maintaining high quality control standards.
Our very own CEO, Sam O'Leary, has recently joined the esteemed Board of Directors at Thinking Huts. This collaboration represents a significant milestone in our commitment to making a positive impact on education and empowering communities worldwide.
Thinking Huts is an incredible organization that focuses on providing access to quality education by constructing sustainable and innovative learning spaces. We are honored to join forces with them, as we share a common goal of creating a brighter future for children in underserved areas.
At SLM Solutions, we firmly believe in the transformative power of education and its ability to uplift communities. This partnership signifies our commitment to empowering communities and shaping a brighter future for future generations.

BREAKING THE BIG 1000
Our team in Lübeck has printed a "1000" application in aluminum to demonstrate the NXG XII 600's whopping 1000ccm/h build rate. This was our first 1000+ ccm/h print job, where we melted 3.13 kg of AlSi10Mg per hour. The application had a high exposure area but still maintained extremely good part quality with a 120-micrometer layer thickness. With performance like this aimed at maximum productivity while retaining part quality, you can experience true industrial-scale production in additive manufacturing. Why settle for less?
NIKON LEADERSHIP VISITS SLM® HEADQUARTERS
We were thrilled to welcome Nikon Corp CEO Toshikazu Umatate, along with Hamid Zarringhalam and Yuichi Shibazaki, to our HQ in Lübeck. Our CEO, Sam O'Leary, wonderfully sums up our feelings with his words, "The future of manufacturing won’t just change for ever, it will transform faster and in more exciting ways than was ever thought possible. It’s really a marriage of two companies that fundamentally share the same DNA, and will together deliver incredible things for our customers and the broader industry."
