Metal additive manufacturing company, Sciaky Inc is to provide multiple Electron Beam Additive Manufacturing (EBAM) systems to a metal 3D printing parts supplier in America.
Wishing to remain anonymous for competitive reasons, the parts supplier will unveil details of the project at a later, unspecified, date. What has been disclosed upon the agreement of the deal is that the supplier will serve as a turnkey parts bureau for several industries, including aerospace, defence, automotive, and the oil and gas sector.
“Sciaky is excited to further expand our one-of-a-kind, large-scale metal 3D printing technology with the marketplace,” said Bob Phillips, Vice President of Marketing for Sciaky, Inc.
The vast work envelope of the EBAM has ensured it is the most widely scalable additive manufacturing solution in the industry. Able to build parts from 8 inches to 19 feet in length. EBAM also boasts one of the fastest deposition process in the metal additive manufacturing market, with gross deposition rates ranging from seven to 20 lbs of metal per hour.
EBAM brings quality and control together with the Interlayer Real-time Imaging and Sensing System, a monitoring control system that can sense and digitally self-adjust metal deposition with precision and repeatability. It’s this closed-loop control that allows Sciaky’s EBAM 3D printing process to deliver consistent part geometry, mechanical properties, microstructure and metal chemistry from the first part to the last.
Sciaky’s EBAM technology has been leveraged by a number of companies in a number of different industries in recent months. A Japanese company, who also wished to remain anonymous until later in the year, decided to purchase an EBAM system in March, while International Submarine Engineering and Airbus installed EBAM machines in January 2017 and December 2016 respectively.
Delivery of the first round of Sciaky EBAM systems to the unnamed American parts supplier is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2017.
