Sciaky’s electron beam additive manufacturing for 3D metal printing

Abstract

Electron beam additive manufacturing is a novel method of manufacturing parts directly from digital STL file by using layer by layer material build-up approach. This is tool less manufacturing methodology to produce fully dense metallic parts in short interval of time, with high precision. Features of additive manufacturing like freedom of part design, part complexity, light weight, part consolidation and design for function are depositing particular interests in metal additive manufacturing for aerospace, oil & gas, marine and automobile applications. This research paper presents overview of sciaky’s electron beam 3D metal printing technology, materials, applications.
