The company’s NeuBeam metal powder bed fusion (PBF) technology works by “neutralizing” the charge accumulation generated by the electron beam, which reduces the need for pre-sintering of the bed, allowing parts to be easily removed without a hardened sinter cake.
“Wayland Additive has removed the barriers associated with traditional e-beam technologies with our NeuBeam process, allowing a wider range of metals and alloys to be additively processed,” said Will Richardson, CEO of Wayland Additive. “6K Additive can produce these hard-to-process materials at scale […] we are particularly excited about the opportunities we are uncovering here in the UK for nuclear applications which require the material properties of tungsten.”
