SLM Solutions expands operating subsidiary's management team to include
sales and service expert Andreas Frahm

Luebeck, October 9, 2014 - SLM Solutions Group AG, a leading provider of
metal-based additive manufacturing technology (often referred to as "3D
printing"), is expanding the management team of its operating subsidiary to
include Andreas Frahm (51). As an expert in international sales and
service, he was a member of the executive management team at the
Luebeck-based Dräger Group, before being appointed managing director at SLM
Solutions GmbH on October 1, 2014.

After graduating in industrial engineering at the Hamburg University of
Technology, Frahm joined Dräger, a leading manufacturer of medical and
safety technology. During almost twenty years at Dräger Medical he gained
extensive expertise in implementing regional and groupwide sales and
service strategies. Following career steps in Europe and Asia-Pacific, his
most recent appointment was the position of Chief Sales Officer at the
Dräger Group in Luebeck. Mr. Frahm will be responsible for international
sales, marketing and service activities at SLM Solutions.

"With Andreas Frahm we have recruited a sales expert who deeply knows the
international markets - which will prove particularly beneficial to us
given SLM Solutions' strategic orientation: along with stronger R&D and
developing our business with consumables, expanding our international sales
in Asia and the USA forms the third pillar of our corporate strategy. With
this expansion, we are positioning our management team on a broader base,"
is how the CEO of SLM Solutions Group AG, Dr. Markus Rechlin, comments on
this hiring decision.

Andreas Frahm is looking forward to his work at SLM Solutions: "From my
experience at Dräger I am familiar with the challenges that complex
high-tech products such as SLM Solutions' laser melting systems make of
sales and service. I am looking forward to making my contribution to the
success of SLM Solutions - a highly innovative company based in my home
region."
