Electron Beam Additive Manufacturing System
September 1, 2016
Sciaky, Inc., a subsidiary of Phillips Service Industries, Inc. (PSI), has announced that EWI has purchased an Electron Beam Additive Manufacturing (EBAM) system. EWI is an engineering and technology organization in North America that develops, tests and implements advanced manufacturing technologies.
Sciaky and EWI will work together to produce prototype parts for high-tech manufacturers in a variety of industries across the U.S. Both companies plan to co-market their metal 3-D printing capabilities to the marketplace.
"Sciaky is excited to work with an innovator like EWI," said Mike Riesen, General Manager of Sciaky, Inc. "Beyond simply selling an EBAM system to EWI, Sciaky will collaborate with EWI to advance and promote EBAM technology into mutual fields of interest."
"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 company spokesperson. "EBAM is also the fastest deposition process in the metal additive manufacturing market (AM), with gross deposition rates ranging from 7 to 20 lbs. (3.18 to 9.07 kg) of metal per hour." Plus, with a dual wire feed option, two different metal alloys can be combined into a single melt pool to create custom alloy parts or ingots. The mixture ratio of the two materials can be changed to create graded parts or structures.
