Furthermore, the vacuum provides a good thermal en-vironment, leading to good form stability and controlled thermal balance in the part.
The Arcam EBM S12 enables Direct Manufacturing of functional metal parts for applications where strength and material requirements are strict.
The CAD to Metal® technology produces parts in solid metal. Final machining of parts can be done with any conventional method such as high-speed milling, turning, grinding, EDM etc.
The technology brings short lead times compared with conventional manufacturing methods. It also allows for the development of new design solutions by way of high level of geometric freedom.
The Arcam EBM S12 enables Free Form Fabrication (FFF®) of components in solid metal directly from CAD. It offers unique geometrical possibilities for manufacturing in metal.
The Arcam EBM S12 is based on Arcam’s CAD to Metal® technology. � e fundamental idea behind the CAD to Metal® technology is to build up metal parts in layers of metal powder, each of which is melted by an electron beam to exactly the geometry de� ned by the computer model.
The Electron Beam Melting (EBM) process is e� cient and provides access to high power to fully melt the metal powder.
The parts are built up in a vacuum chamber. Vacuum is a necessity so that the electrons have a clear path to the metal. Vacuum also provides a clean environment, result-ing in excellent material characteristics.
