Abstract: | Electron Beam Melting (EBM) is a state of the art technology that is poised to revolutionize the way products are manufactured. High customization combined with superior material properties have given a wide range of applications to the parts produced by means of this technology. The layer by layer building technique employed by this Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology permits high geometry flexibility and short lead times. Additionally, EBM uses as its energy source an electron beam which is able to produce full dense parts made of metals such as titanium alloys, a material that is difficult to machine using other conventional methods. |
