Electron Beam Melting (EBM)

EBM has the ability to stack multiple layers of parts allowing for maximum build capacity within the build space (200 x 200 x 180mm).

The high-power electron beam gun has the ability to melt layers more efficiently, as well as penetrate deeper into the layers of sintered powder.

The EBM process maintains an elevated surface temperature allowing for parts to be stress-relieved directly after melting. This results in low residual stresses final components.

The electron beam can move upwards of 8,000 meters per second allowing for the creation of multiple melt pools and maintaining an elevated surface temperature throughout the build platform.

The EBM melting process happens inside a high vacuum providing a clean and regulated environment. The vacuum provides thermal insulation that contributes to high energy efficiency.

EBM technology allows for easily removed support structures that do not require wire EDM or secondary removal techniques. This increases productivity in post-processing.
