Sciaky, Inc. at Rapid 2016
May 17, 2016Sciaky, Inc., a subsidiary of Phillips Service Industries, Inc. (PSI) and a provider of metal additive manufacturing (AM) solutions, announced that it will highlight its patented IRISS closed-loop control, which powers its Electron Beam Additive Manufacturing (EBAM) systems, at the Rapid 3-D Manufacturing Event in Orlando, Florida.
IRISS, which stands for Interlayer Real-time Imaging & Sensing System, provides consistent process control for part geometry, mechanical properties, microstructure and metal chemistry for large-scale 3-D printed parts. This innovative technology, which is exclusive to Sciaky EBAM systems, monitors the metal deposition process in real time and makes adjustments to the process parameters that compensate for variation throughout the build process. EBAM systems utilize wire feedstock, which is available in a variety of metals such as titanium, tantalum, niobium, tungsten, molybdenum, Inconel, aluminum, stainless steels, nickel alloys and more.
“IRISS closed-loop control provides unmatched precision and accuracy,” said Mike Riesen, General Manager of Sciaky, Inc. “This exclusive technology is why Sciaky EBAM outsells and outperforms all the rest in the large-scale metal 3-D parts market.”
“As the most widely scalable metal 3-D printing solution in the industry (in terms of work envelope), Sciaky’s EBAM systems can produce parts ranging from 8 inches (203 mm) to 19 feet (5.79 meters) in length, but can also manufacture smaller and larger parts, depending on the application,” said a Sciaky spokesperson.” EBAM is also the fastest deposition process in the metal additive manufacturing market, with gross deposition rates ranging from 7 to 20 lbs. (3.18 to 9.07 kg) of metal per hour. Plus, with a dual wirefeed option, you can combine two different metal alloys into a single melt pool to create custom alloy parts or ingots. In addition, you can change the mixture ratio of the two materials to create graded parts or structures.”
The Rapid 3D Manufacturing Event takes place May 17-19 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL.
