Sciaky’s Electron Beam Additive Manufacturing (EBAM) is a one-of-a-kind metal 3D printing technology that delivers on the key benefits mentioned and excels at producing large-scale, high-value metal parts. It’s no secret that large-scale forgings and castings can take many, many months to complete. EBAM, on the other hand, can produce high quality, large-scale metal structures, up to 19’ in length, made of titanium, tantalum, and nickel-based alloys in a matter of days, with very little material waste.

In addition, the EBAM process can be used in any phase of the product life cycle: from rapid prototypes and production parts to repair and remanufacturing applications.

Materials

The best material candidates for EBAM applications are weldable metals that are available in wire feedstock. These materials include:

Titanium and Titanium alloys

Inconel 718, 625

Tantalum

Tungsten

Niobium

Stainless Steels (300 series)

2319, 4043 Aluminum

4340 Steel

Zircalloy

70-30 Copper Nickel

70-30 Nickel Copper

Benifits

Reduces material costs, lead times, and machining times (as much as 80%) vs. conventional manufacturing

The fastest, most cost-effective Additive Manufacturing process in the market for producing large metal parts

IRISS® Closed-Loop Control Technology ensures process repeatability and traceability (real-time adaptive control)

With EBAM’s pure vacuum environment, the process doesn’t require the use of Argon or any inert gas for part shielding

The Big Metal Experts: Sciaky offers the largest build envelope in the world for 3D printed metal parts

EBAM works exceptionally well with refractory alloys and produces significantly less material waste (a big cost-savings advantage!) – Plus, wire feedstock is significantly less expensive than powder feedstock, it is easier to store, and it isn’t highly flammable like some powder feedstocks

EBAM’s exclusive dual wirefeed process allows you to feed two different metal alloys into a single melt pool to create parts made of custom alloys; It also allows designers to vary alloy mixtures to produce graded parts; Graded parts can also be produced by switching from thin wire (fine deposition) to thick wire (gross deposition) feedstock
