Sciaky additive process lays down 40 pounds of titanium per hour
Wednesday, 15 June 2022
Sciaky is committed to discovering new applications for its Electron Beam Additive Manufacturing process that will help manufacturers save significant time and money on part production, as well as improve part quality.

Metal additive manufacturing specialist Sciaky, Inc. has used its Electron Beam Additive Manufacturing (EBAM) process to deposit 40 lbs. (18.14 kg) of titanium per hour, making it the highest and fastest deposition rate in the world for industrial metal 3D printing.

The Saint Exupéry Institute for Research in Technology, located in France, achieved EBAM's high deposition rate while conducting work for its Metallic Advanced Materials for Aeronautics (MAMA) project. Launched in 2019, one of MAMA's initial goals was combining die forging with metal 3D printing to develop a new process for manufacturing titanium aircraft parts. To date, Sciaky's EBAM has deposited over 330 lbs. (150 kg) of Ti-6AI-4V (titanium) for three different MAMA applications. Additional projects are planned for 2022 and beyond, with a groundswell of support to adopt these new processes into production. Airbus and Aubert and Duval are also key process contributors for this particular initiative of the MAMA project.

“Sciaky is excited about EBAM's new deposition rate milestone,” says Scott Phillips, president and ceo of Sciaky, Inc. “We are committed to discovering new applications for EBAM that will help manufacturers save significant time and money on part production, as well as improve part quality.”

As the most widely scalable metal additive manufacturing solution in the industry in terms of work envelope, Sciaky's EBAM systems can produce parts up to 19 feet (5.79 metres) in length. EBAM brings quality and control together with IRISS (Interlayer Real-time Imaging and Sensing System) which 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. This innovative closed-loop control is the primary reason that Sciaky's EBAM 3D printing process delivers consistent part geometry, mechanical properties, microstructure, and metal chemistry, from the first part to the last.
