EBM-beep (electron beaming swimming)
Electronic smelting, or EBM printing, is a method of manufacturing complex metal products, which has recently gained popularity due to its accuracy and ability to create unique structures. Imagine that you are an artist, and your tool is a bunch of electrons that can melt and form metal. This is what happens in the process of EBM printing.
How does this work?
The method is based on a powerful electronic beam, focused on a very small point. This ray, like a microscopic burner, melts the metal in a given area, and then, driven by a computer, forms the desired part from the molten metal. It is very important that the electronic beam, in contrast to traditional methods of melting, does not heat the material around the processing zone, which allows you to create parts with high accuracy and minimal thermal distortions. It is as if you could draw a part directly on the metal without affecting the rest. The material for printed parts can serve as a variety of metals and alloys.
Advantages of EBM printing:
EBM-packet offers many advantages over traditional methods. High accuracy allows you to create parts with incredible geometric complex shapes, complex internal cavities and the finest walls. This opens up great opportunities for creating unique and complex products. In addition, the process is low -income, since the electronic beam is concentrated at the melting point, which minimizes the cost of the material. And finally, the speed of the EBM printing is constantly increasing, bringing it closer to industrial use.
Development prospects:
EBM-Probage is a technology that continues to develop. As the electronic beam control methods improve and increase the accuracy, EBM-porch will find new applications. From medicine, where it can be used to create unique implants, to aircraft industry, where the most easy and strong details are required. Most likely, in the near future we will see even more innovative applications for this amazing technology.
