Specifications

Sciaky EBAM 300: Technical Sheet

Technology: Wire-DED EBM; EBAM 300 is the flagship system with a record-setting build volume.

Electron Beam: 42 kW at 60 kV; IRISS closed-loop control every layer.

Build Volume: 5791×1219×1219 mm (228×48×48 in): over 19 feet in length; described by Sciaky as the world's largest commercial metal 3D printer.

Deposition Rate: 7–40 lbs/hr (same family as all EBAM systems).

Wire Feed: Dual wire feeder for bimetal and high-deposition applications.

Reference Customer: Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI): customized EBAM 300 Series for titanium aerostructure production.

Calibration

EBAM 300 Calibration

1. Vacuum 90–120 min: large chamber pump-down; plan overnight.

2. Focus matrix at 5 positions: corrections along X: min/25%/50%/75%/max.

3. Dual wire verification: synchronization ±2% for both wires; bimetal test layer.

4. IRISS baseline at 3 positions: ends + center; no correction warnings.

5. CMM + UT on coupon ≥3 m: deviation ≤±1.5–2 mm; NADCAP UT for TAI.

Common defects

Typical Defects

Axial geometric deviation (EBAM300-D01): Large thermal gradient → segmented parameters + symmetric supports.

Cold-zone delamination (EBAM300-D02): Fast cooling at ends → preheat algorithm before each layer.

Oxidation contamination (EBAM300-D03): Large chamber → He leak check + RGA monitoring.

Non-uniform bead width at ends (EBAM300-D04): Speed change → ramp functions + machining allowance.

What it is used for

Use Cases

Titanium aerostructures >5 m: Only system in class; TAI production of aircraft structures.

Large-run defence billets: Full frames as single pieces replacing forged assembly.

R&D-to-production scaling: Direct parameter transfer from smaller EBAM systems.

Marine structures >5 m: Panels and frames in corrosion-resistant alloys.
