AMCM M290 FLX 3D printer with nLIGHT lasers wins 2024 TCT Hardware Award – Non-Polymer Systems

The TCT additive manufacturing Hardware awards celebrate the very best of the enabling technologies themselves, and are split into two distinct areas, the first of which is non-polymer systems.

The 2024 TCT Hardware Award – Non-Polymer Systems - Sponsored by WAAM was awarded to nLIGHT with project partners Optoprim, AMCM and Ohio State University for its AMCM M290 FLX with nLIGHT lasers.

The AMCM M290 FLX is one of the first laser powder bed fusion machines on the market to provide beam shaping capability. Which dramatically opens the processing window, enabling higher powers, faster scan speeds, and bigger layer thicknesses.
