Electron Beam
150 kV acceleration voltage - highest of any commercial EB-PBF system; max 6 kW beam power. Higher voltage enables deeper penetration and greater scan speed on reactive metals.
Scanner / Deflection
Electromagnetic deflection (no moving mirrors) for virtually unlimited scan speed.
BuildUnit (modular architecture)
Two interchangeable BuildUnit formats: 160x160x400 mm and 300x300x400 mm, both fitting the same machine frame. One prints while the other is loaded/unloaded in parallel.
Chamber & Safety
Working pressure <10E-4 mbar. At 150 kV, bremsstrahlung X-rays are generated - room requires certified radiation shielding.
ELO Monitoring.
Vacuum preparation
Mount BuildUnit, evacuate to <10E-4 mbar; inspect O-ring seals.
Beam calibration at 150 kV
Focus + stigmator on W target; spot-size <=0.5 mm; ensure radiation shielding is in place.
ELO detector
Calibrate BSE contrast for the working material; perform test build for any new alloy.
Pre-sinter
At 150 kV charging is stronger; increase pre-sinter dose by ~15% vs standard 60 kV recipes.
Process window.
Smoke event
Symptom: cloud, powder dispersal. Cause: electrostatic charging from insufficient pre-sintering, amplified at 150 kV. Fix: increase pre-sinter dose.
Porosity
Spherical (entrapped gas) or irregular (lack of fusion). Fix: low-gas powder; optimise linear energy dose.
Delamination
Layer cracks from rapid cooling. Fix: raise temperature setpoint; increase contour pre-sinter.
Recoater streaks
Parallel bands in ELO images. Fix: inspect rake; reduce layer thickness.
Serial Ti/CoCr aerospace parts
Parallel process flow achieves near-100% OEE - key at production volumes.
Orthopaedic porous implants
Natural EBM sintering without supports for trabecular Ti structures.
Reactive and refractory metals
Vacuum at <10E-4 mbar + 150 kV for Ti, W, Nb, Ta with minimal oxygen contamination.
Multi-format flexibility.
