Electron beam additive manufacturing
Electron beam powder-bed AM, also known as electron beam melting (EBM), is conducted in a powder bed inside a vacuum chamber. A powder feed system deposits an even layer 100 microns deep. An electron gun then heats the powder according to the component’s design, melting a single layer at a time. The beam is moved across the powder bed by magnetic deflection coils. The powder bed moves down, a new layer of powder is distributed and then the next layer is fused.
