Hyliion Purchases M Line Additive Manufacturing Systems from Colibrium Additive

Hyliion Holdings Corp. a developer of sustainable electricity-producing technology, has taken delivery of its first M Line AM system from Colibrium Additive, a GE Aerospace company, to support the production of its revolutionary KARNO generator technology. The installation marks the first deployment of an M Line system in the U.S. Hyliion has placed orders for additional M Line machines, with deliveries scheduled to continue throughout 2025.

Hyliion's adoption of the advanced M Line system enables the company to manufacture two to four times more parts per machine compared to its current printers. The highly efficient performance of the KARNO linear generator is made possible by the complex geometries of its critical components, achievable only through AM.

“We are proud to support Hyliion with our M Line technology,” says Chris Schuppe, CTO of Colibrium Additive. “Featuring a modular design that separates laser processing and material handling systems, these machines aim to streamline operations, reduce production times and optimize manufacturing processes, making them an optimal choice for producing the KARNO generator’s complex parts in full-scale production.”

Hyliion’s KARNO generator is designed to efficiently produce electricity using one of over 20 available fuel sources, leveraging advanced thermal and power systems engineering. The generator is expected to offer on-demand AC or DC power with high efficiency and a cleaner emissions footprint as compared to a conventional genset, representing the future of low-emission energy generation.
