Fast EBM research, a five year project concluding last year to make EBM printing five times faster.
"One of the biggest advantages of EBM over SLS is that it can produce metal parts in significantly less time and at less cost."
"If Arcam AB is able to present their new Fast EBM machine concept whereby 3D printing of high grade metal parts is increased by a factor of five and Arcam AB is able to patent this new technology, shareholders can be more than confident that this small Swedish company will be an absolute winner in metal 3D printing. This is an increase that could drive production of high grade metal parts used in aerospace and medical applications closer to rapid manufacturing from rapid prototyping and small-lot production.
I did a few calls with some project partners and came to the conclusion that we can expect some very good news regarding the "FastEBM" machine on February 7th."
"What is it about Arcam's product, unlike typical 3D printers, that makes it capable of delivering volume production?"
Most metal printing companies are using laser sintering. Arcam uses electron beam melting, which packs more energy and results in a hotter beam. This allows for faster printing of quality void free parts. Arcam has the patents to back this process and has the rights to the IP for the next generation of the technology as well (fastEBM). Results of the EU research grant are due to be announced on Arcam's Q4 earnings call on Feb 7th.
