Nidec Unifies Its Additive Manufacturing Division Under Advanced Technologies Brand

Published on March 16, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

Nidec Machine Tool America has reorganized its offering. The former Additive Manufacturing division is now called Advanced Manufacturing Technologies, grouping several solutions into a single portfolio. The goal is to facilitate access for North American customers to these technologies, supported by the company's sales and service network in the region.

A technological trio for precision at different scales 🔬

The portfolio integrates three key systems. LAMDA is a laser-directed energy deposition system for large-scale metal 3D printing, incorporating real-time monitoring and AI. ABLASER is a laser micromachining platform for drilling microholes in materials like silicon. BOND MEISTER performs wafer bonding at room temperature for semiconductors and MEMS, avoiding thermal stress.

Finally, a name that covers from a microscopic hole to an airplane ✈️

With this rebranding, it's clear that additive manufacturing had become too narrow for them. Now, under a broader umbrella, they can offer everything from heatless wafer bonding to drilling an almost invisible hole, passing through printing a car-sized metal part. All in the same catalog, so you don't have to look elsewhere when your project evolves from a chip to a turbine. A practical strategy, even if it sounds like a department name from a science fiction movie.
