Electron Beam Additive Manufacturing for Aerospace Parts



Sciaky, Inc., a subsidiary of Phillips Service Industries, Inc. (PSI) and provider of large-scale additive manufacturing machinery, has announced that it received a purchase order from a major aerospace parts maker to provide an electron beam additive manufacturing (EBAM) system. "The EBAM system will help the manufacturer save significant time and cost on the production of large, high-value metal parts," said a company spokesperson.

According to the company, Sciaky's EBAM technology combines computer-aided design (CAD), electron beam welding technology and layer-additive processing. Starting with a 3D model from a CAD program, Sciaky's fully-articulated, moving electron beam welding gun deposits metal, layer by layer, until the part reaches near-net shape. From there, the near-net shape part requires minor post-production machining, according to the company. The 110" x 110" x 110" (L x W x H) build envelope of the EBAM system will allow the manufacturer to produce large parts with virtually no waste.

Sciaky provides electron beam and advanced arc welding systems, as well as job shop/contract welding services, for manufacturers in the aerospace, defense, automotive and healthcare industries.
