Valiant Products Expands Metal Additive Manufacturing Capabilities with VELO3D and Nikon SLM Systems

Valiant Products is positioning itself as a single-source partner for metal additive manufacturing, combining some of the industry's most advanced powder-bed fusion platforms with conventional fabrication services and the certifications demanded by highly regulated sectors.

The company, a leading provider of advanced metal additive manufacturing solutions, serves industries including aerospace, defense, nuclear energy, transportation, renewable energy, and medical devices — markets where part complexity, traceability, and quality documentation are non-negotiable.

The Machine Lineup

At the core of Valiant Products' operation are three metal 3D printing systems: the VELO3D XC, the Nikon SLM NXG XII 600E, and the Nikon SLM NXG XII 600.

The VELO3D XC addresses the design-freedom side of the equation. The system provides exceptional design freedom and reduces manufacturing constraints, enabling the production of highly complex parts and prototypes that would be difficult or impossible to produce through traditional methods.

For customers whose bottleneck is throughput rather than geometry, the SLM NXG XII 600E and NXG XII 600 systems handle the production end. These platforms are suited to both prototype development and high-volume production environments — a combination that lets customers scale a design from first article to repeat runs without switching suppliers mid-program.

Beyond the Build Plate

Additive alone rarely delivers a finished part, and Valiant Products has built out accordingly. The company offers precision machining and conventional sheet metal fabrication services alongside its printing capacity, giving customers a single-source manufacturing partner from concept through finished product.

That breadth matters in practice. Hybrid workflows — printed near-net shapes finished on CNC equipment, or printed components integrated into fabricated assemblies — are common in aerospace and defense work, and keeping them under one roof simplifies both logistics and quality accountability.

Certifications for Regulated Work

Valiant Products holds AS9100D certification, ISO 9001 certification, and ITAR registration. Together, these credentials cover the quality-management and export-control requirements typical of aerospace, defense, and other highly regulated programs — the baseline for competing on mission-critical work.

For engineers and procurement teams evaluating metal AM suppliers, the package is straightforward: advanced multi-laser and support-free-capable platforms, in-house secondary operations, and the paperwork to match.
