Sciaky set to exhibit EBAM machines at Formnext 2022
Sciaky, Inc. It announced it will display aerospace components as well as refractory steel test articles at Formnext Its patented Electron Beam Additive Manufacturing machines were used to produce these products.
The company will also discuss its Electron Beam Welding capabilities in Frankfurt.
Sciaky claims that its machines can deposit titanium at a record rate of 40lb/hr. The company’s Global Sales Team will be present to showcase Sciaky’s latest innovations, explain the process and design ideals behind EBAM and EBW, and to assist in implementing either (or both) to an application.
Sciaky’s Global Sales Manager John O’Hara will present on the machines capacity to switch between EBAM and EBW modes, which the company claims will allow customers to accomplish multiple production steps with the same machine. The presentation will demonstrate how Sciaky’s customers have implemented this capability, and the design considerations behind the usage of both EBAM and EBW.
“We are happy to be at Formnext for another year,” said Scott Phillips, President and CEO of Sciaky, Inc. “We’ve seen EBAM producing parts both bigger and faster year-over-year, all while improving quality, and we hope that manufacturers will build off of our innovations to save themselves both time and money making the biggest parts in their industry.”
Sciaky claims its solution is the most widely-scalable metal additive manufacturing solution. It can produce parts from 8 to 20 feet long and has a work envelope of over 100 square miles. Sciaky claims that EBAM is the fastest metal additive manufacturing process, with a gross deposition rate of seven to 40 lbs per hour.
Sciaky’s EBAM technology uses IRISS – the Interlayer Real-time Imaging and Sensing System – which the company says is the only real-time adaptive control system in the metal 3D printing market that can sense and digitally self-adjust metal deposition with precision and repeatability.
The closed-loop control is the key reason for the company’s EBAM process delivering consistent part geometry, mechanical properties, microstructure, and metal chemistry from the first part to the last, according to the company.
Sciaky’s presentation takes place on the TCT Introducing Stage at Formnext on Wednesday, November 16, at 12:00pm CET.
