Question to the Board on Multi-Beam

Presentation from 2010 showing multi-beam being 8 melt pools.

Would like to hear some thoughts about this. So, this is why EBM is 4 to 10 x faster.

Could this be what FastEBM is?, the constant upgrading of melt pools based on multiple electron beams? Are there any limits to this? Could it be we see 20, 30, 50, 100 eBeams being deflected over time, constantly backed by new patents never allowing the competition to catch-up?

Originally, Arcam's EBM was single beam and upgraded in 2010

Arcam’s Multibeam™ technology allows several melt pools to be maintained simultaneously. This melting strategy is made possible by state-of-the-art deflection electronics enabling optimization of surface finish, precision and build speed simultaneously.
