How much does the SLM Solutions NXG XII 600E cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a metal additive manufacturing in this class — not a quote from SLM Solutions. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The NXG XII 600E is specified by SLM Solutions with up to 12 x 1 kW lasers, 12 kW of total laser power, over a 600 x 600 x 600 mm build volume. Build rate is up to 1,000 cm³/hr and scan speed up to 12 m/s.
Three of those figures are ceilings. Up to twelve lasers leaves open how many a given machine carries, and the 12 kW total and the 1,000 cm³/hr rate presumably apply only with the full set. Pin down the laser count in any quotation before planning capacity around the headline rate.
Scan speed is the row that sets this table apart: up to 12 m/s. Fast scanning helps on thin sections and on the jumps between parts on a crowded plate, while the melt rate in bulk material is governed more by laser power and layer thickness. The table gives no layer thickness or material list, so neither can be assumed.
For a sense of scale, the SLM 800 has 4 × 700 W lasers and weighs approx. 8,500 kg. No weight or footprint is published in the table for the NXG XII 600E.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Up to 12 x 1 kW lasers for 12 kW of total laser power
- Scan speed of up to 12 m/s
- Build rate of up to 1,000 cm³/hr in a 600 x 600 x 600 mm build volume
Limitations
- Laser count is given as a maximum of twelve, so the installed number must be confirmed
- No layer thickness, material list, weight or utility figures in the table

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Up to 12, each of 1 kW, for a total laser power of 12 kW. The wording is a maximum, so confirm how many lasers are fitted to the machine being quoted, because the build rate of up to 1,000 cm³/hr presumably assumes the full set.
02
Scan speed is up to 12 m/s and the build rate is up to 1,000 cm³/hr. Scan speed is how fast a beam moves across the powder; build rate is the volume melted per hour across all lasers. Both are maxima, and the table does not state the material or layer thickness behind them.
03
The table gives 600 x 600 x 600 mm. Check the build height against the current data sheet when quoting, since it sets the tallest part and the amount of powder a full build needs.
