The machine uses Wayland’s proprietary NeuBeam additive manufacturing (AM) process which the company says neutralises the charge accumulation generated by the electron beam, overcoming stability issues.
“The Wayland technology was identified as part of an Additive Manufacturing Consortium (AMC) project that researched emerging technologies,” said Mark Barfoot, director at EWI. “Calibur3’s ability to print without solidifying the entire powder cake gives it the potential to produce features that were formerly not suited for eBeam PBF.”
