Hyliion Holdings Corp. (NYSE American: HYLN), a leader in sustainable electricity-generation technology, has received its first M Line additive manufacturing system from Colibrium Additive, a GE Aerospace company. This move supports the production of Hyliion’s innovative KARNO™ generator technology. The installation marks the first use of an M Line system in the United States. Hyliion has also ordered additional M Line machines, with deliveries expected to continue through 2025.
The adoption of the M Line system is a major step forward for Hyliion’s production capabilities. The new technology will allow the company to produce two to four times more parts per machine compared to its existing printers. The KARNO generator’s high efficiency relies on the intricate design of its components, which can only be manufactured using advanced additive techniques.
Chris Schuppe, Chief Technology Officer of Colibrium Additive, commented, “We are excited to support Hyliion with our M Line technology. These machines feature a modular design that separates laser processing and material handling systems. This streamlines operations, reduces production times, and optimizes manufacturing processes, making them ideal for producing the complex parts needed for the KARNO generator at scale.”
The KARNO generator is designed to efficiently produce electricity using over 20 different fuel sources. It leverages cutting-edge thermal and power systems engineering to deliver on-demand AC or DC power with high efficiency and lower emissions compared to traditional generators. This positions the KARNO generator as a key player in the future of low-emission energy solutions.
Thomas Healy, Founder and CEO of Hyliion, stated, “The M Line systems are a game-changer for scaling our manufacturing capabilities. By integrating this advanced technology into our production process, we are better equipped to meet the increasing demand for our KARNO generators starting in 2025 and beyond.”
This strategic investment underscores Hyliion’s commitment to advancing sustainable energy solutions and scaling production to meet global demand.
