How much does the SLM Solutions NXG XII 600 Metal Additive System 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 600 is the twelve-laser machine in the SLM Solutions range: 12 x 1,000 W fiber lasers over a 600 x 600 x 600 mm build volume, with a build rate of up to 1,000 cm³/h that the manufacturer ties to aluminum alloys.
That qualifier matters. The headline rate is stated for aluminum alloys and should not be carried over to titanium, nickel or steel work, so ask for the rate in the alloy you intend to run. The published table has no layer thickness, material list or utility data either, and those need to come from SLM Solutions directly.
The scale is clearest next to a quad machine. Against the 4 x 700 W fiber lasers of the SLM 500 Quad, the NXG XII 600 has three times as many lasers and each is about 43% more powerful. The SLM 500 Quad builds in 500 x 280 x 365 mm (19.7 x 11 x 14.4 in), so the NXG XII 600 is larger in every axis. A 600 mm cube takes parts that would otherwise be split and joined, and twelve lasers are what make filling that volume practical in production time.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Twelve 1,000 W fiber lasers working one build volume
- 600 x 600 x 600 mm build volume, with equal reach in X, Y and Z
- Build rate of up to 1,000 cm³/h in aluminum alloys
Limitations
- The 1,000 cm³/h rate is stated for aluminum alloys only, and the table has no rate for other materials
- The table gives no layer thickness, weight, footprint or power figures, so site planning needs data direct from SLM Solutions

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Twelve, each a 1,000 W fiber laser (12 x 1,000 W). For comparison, the SLM 500 Quad has 4 x 700 W fiber lasers. With twelve beams over one plate, how the scan fields overlap determines how evenly the work is shared, so raise that when discussing large single parts.
02
Up to 1,000 cm³/h, a figure SLM Solutions states for aluminum alloys. It is a maximum, and the table gives no rate for titanium, nickel or steel. Use it to size aluminum production, and request measured rates for other alloys.
03
600 x 600 x 600 mm. The SLM 500 Quad, by comparison, builds in 500 x 280 x 365 mm (19.7 x 11 x 14.4 in), so the NXG XII 600 is larger in all three axes and more than twice as deep in Y.
