Electron Beam Additive Manufacturing

The raw material metal powder or wire is placed under a vacuum and fused together from heating by an electron beam.

Electron beam additive manufacturing.

Electron beam additive manufacturing or electron beam melting ebm is a type of additive manufacturing or 3d printing for metal parts. It uses a focused electron beam in a vacuum environment to create a molten pool on a metallic substrate. Electron beam freeform fabrication ebf3 is an additive manufacturing process that builds near net shape parts requiring less raw material and finish machining than traditional manufacturing methods. As a proven leader in cost efficient additive manufacturing am solutions to produce orthopedic implants and aerospace applications the electron beam melting process has the power to unleash a new generation of additive innovation.

Electron beam additive manufacturing reduces the time and costs associated with traditional manufacturing i e. It s no secret that large scale forgings and castings can take many many months to complete. And compared to other metal additive manufacturing processes ebam has a faster deposition rate by up to a factor of ten and provides unrivaled scalability for part size and part quality. Sciaky s electron beam additive manufacturing ebam is a one of a kind metal 3d printing technology that delivers on the key benefits mentioned above and excels at producing large scale high value metal parts.
