Arcam electron beam metal 3D printer
Our Arcam electron beam facility provides an excellent opportunity to have metal parts 3D printed at reasonably high rates of productivity in a range of materials.
Our Arcam electron beam facility provides an excellent opportunity to have metal parts 3D printed at reasonably high rates of productivity in a range of materials. Specifications of our Arcam A1 model are as follows:
- Electron beam fusion power bed
- 200 × 200 × 180 (mm) chamber build volume
- 50 – 3000W beam power
- Good part roughness Ra 25-35µm (Rt˜300µm)
- 55-80cm3/h build rate (Ti-64)
- High purity vacuum melting (<1×10-4bar)
- Low residual stress
- Standard Arcam materials (Ti-64, Ti-64 ELI, CoCr, CP Ti)
- Prototyping, customising, topology & design optimisation, light-weighting
- Batch process that runs between $4k and $10k (less when combining multiple builds)
- Depends on part volumes and quantity in chamber
