Why EBM?

EBM gives your business and its engineers no limits on geometry, no tooling costs, and capability for mass customisation. Complexity is your advantage. EBM scales from mass production all the way down to one-offs; this allows you to validate your design on the same process to be used in production so there are no surprises. As a hot vacuum process there are no residual stresses and therefore no distortion of components. EBM will outperform many traditional methods of manufacture in lead-time and gives the opportunity to greatly reduce part count in your assemblies giving you less time to wait for manufacturing and logistics.

What is EBM?

Arcam EBM® systems utilize a high-power electron beam that generates the energy needed for high melting capacity and high productivity. It is built on state-of-the-art deflection electronics, enabling extremely fast and accurate beam control. This allows melting at multiple points simultaneously, without compromising surface finish, precision or build speed.

Traceability

Zenith Tecnica maintains traceability of all powder batches and can supply a certificate of conformity for all materials used in the manufacturing processes. Every build has mechanical test and chemistry coupons available for analysis. Regular testing is done to ensure conformance with ASTM material standards. Zenith Tecnica uses Valuechain's DNAam software for production control.

Qualifications

Factory acceptance tests (FAT), Installation Qualification (IQ), Operation Qualification (OQ), and Performance Qualification (PQ) are completed for all critical machinery and processes before a project begins. More information is available upon request. Please contact us.
