Nikon Advanced Manufacturing introduces itself
From optics to Advanced Manufacturing: Nikon's path to industrial innovation
Nikon Inc. is involved in a broad spectrum of businesses centered around specializations in imaging products, optics, precision equipment, and instruments. In 2019, Nikon established a specialized division to accelerate the launch of new growth businesses such as advanced manufacturing. Since then, by leveraging synergies resulting from strategic investments including acquisition of SLM Solutions, a global provider of integrated metal Additive Manufacturing solutions, and prior to that, Morf3D, a provider of end-to-end solutions in additive manufacturing, Nikon has taken major steps towards the industrialization of digital manufacturing.
These transformative programs culminated in the exciting launch of Nikon Advanced Manufacturing, Inc., which will be in charge of scaling and managing all assets including organically developed as well as consolidation, synergizing, harmonization and governance of acquired entities. Nikon has a “Lasermeister Technology Center” in its Kumagaya Plant. The Lasermeister Technology Center offers not only opportunities to have a hands-on metal processing experience, but also technical consultation.
