The key objective of the FastEBM project was to increase the build rate of components to allow parts to be produced at a competitive price. The sensitivity of the viable price to build rate is shown in the diagram above – and it can be seen that by bringing the build rate up from the present achievable rate (for large components) of 0.1kg/hour to above 0.5kg/hour for a 3kg component allows the addressable market share to increase from 0.1% to some 70%. At a build rate of 0.5kg/hr the EBM process is price competitive with machined components with a BTF ratio between 5 and 10. If the build rate can be increased to 1.5kg/hour, the components produced by EBM will be competitive with machined product with a BTF ratio of 5 or higher – this represents 99.9% of the parts produced for the airframe building industry.

And a special thank you to the contributing members this board.
I look for Arcam related materials a lot and you have found many i have missed. Bravo

Arcam is my highest conviction stock
The main thing I worry about is if laser based machines overcome the problem of non dense builds. The irrational market linkage of Arcam to plastic 3DP companies will be broken eventually. and meanwhile gives us the chance to get shares cheaper.
