Dyndrite Launches Slice Viewer For Nikon SLM Solutions NXG Series

Dyndrite shares enhancements to Dyndrite LPBF Pro with an NXG Slice Viewer, a time-simulated, 12-laser toolpath visualization and debug environment made for Nikon SLM Solutions’ NXG Series of large-format multi-optic metal additive manufacturing machines, including the NXG XII 600 and NXG 600E.

Developed in support of Nikon SLM’s open architecture, the LPBF Pro NXG Slice Viewer gives visibility into multi-laser behavior during builds with tools to debug custom optic allocation strategies.

“High-throughput, 12-laser platforms demand tailored software,” says Steve Walton, head of Product, Dyndrite. “Our NXG Slice Viewer shows every laser parameter, every vector, every timing event, concurrently and in sequence, so users can spot issues, improve optic allocation, and develop advanced scan strategies to maximize machine productivity. It’s the must-have tool for NXG users who are scaling to real production.”

• Built for NXG Production

  Time simulation of all 12 lasers at once—Play, pause, scrub, and step through layers with custom jump delay, and mark delay,.
• ‍Enhanced UI—View lasers individually or synced, leverage high color-contrast modes, and control thickness.
• ‍Optic allocation intelligence—Fully connected to Dyndrite’s custom optic-allocation tools for NXG Series, enabling what-if analysis to balance utilization, reduce idling, minimize cross-talk, and dynamic forced laser synchronization
• ‍Early-user hardened—Shaped by hands-on feedback from alpha/beta customers operating NXGs.

“At Nikon SLM Solutions, we believe that an open architecture is the key to accelerating innovation in additive manufacturing,” says Brent Stucker, chief engineer at Nikon SLM Solutions. “Dyndrite’s new NXG Slice Viewer is a perfect example of that philosophy in action. By leveraging the openness of our NXG Series, Dyndrite has delivered a powerful visualization tool that gives customers deep insight and control over their multi-laser production processes."

The NXG Slice Viewer is available now as part of the latest Dyndrite LPBF Pro release. Existing LPBF Pro NXG customers can access the feature immediately.
