The Arcam A2X system is designed for production of functional parts within aerospace, as well as general industry for a wide range of materials. It is also used at important universities and research institutes worldwide.
EBM machines from Arcam EBM create dimensionally accurate parts quickly and efficiently by utilizing a high-power electron beam for high melting capacity and productivity. The Arcam EBM process takes place in vacuum and at high temperature, resulting in stress-relieved components with material properties better than cast and comparable to wrought material.
FOR MATERIAL AND PROCESS DEVELOPMENT
The Arcam EBM A2X machine is appreciated for material studies because it operates in a vacuum which provides a clean & controlled environment & minimizes the risk of contamination. Using electrons as energy carriers, provides deep energy penetration & low reflection in the powder.
Arcam EBM has a long experience of material development & has today tested & build with over 40 materials, many of them together with customers. You can benefit from this experience through our training & consultancy services.
For Academia & Research Institutes the A2X is delivered with Development mode, after suitable training. This makes it possible to control more machine & process parameter settings in the machine software for advanced process development.
The build chamber of the Arcam A2X is specifically designed to withstand extremely high process temperatures over 1100° C. Building at elevated temperatures, eliminates residual stress and ensures superior material properties. This opens the door for unique possibilities to additively manufacture crack prone materials such as Titanium Aluminide.
The A2X system offers low operational cost, low cost of consumables, efficient reuse of powder and low powder cost. The A2X comes with a durable and robust filament as an energy source which endures the stresses that material development can entail.
3000 W
200 x 200 x 380 mm (x,y,z)
The build chamber of the Arcam A2X is specifically designed to withstand extremely high process temperatures, up to 1100° C. This makes it particularly useful for manufacturing components in TiAl and Inconel 718. In addition to production, the Arcam A2X is very well suited for research and process development for new materials. Arcam has an open material strategy that can actively support customers working with their process development. The Arcam A2X is ideal for this purpose.
Since the Arcam A2X system is designed to process titanium alloys as well as materials that require elevated process temperatures, such as titanium aluminide and Inconel, it is well suited for both production and materials R&D. This EBM® platform offers a build envelope of 200x200x380 mm.
The Arcam A2X system can deliver a beam power of up to 3000 W and maintain a scan speed that allows melting at multiple points simultaneously. The vacuum system is designed to maintain a vacuum level of 1x10-5 mBar or better throughout the entire build cycle. This, combined with elevated temperatures, eliminates residual stress and ensures superior material properties.
Research & Development is a very crucial part of many industries as well as markets, it has its own benefits. Manufacturers and firms need to ensure that their products constantly evolve and meet the ongoing trends, changing market demands, challenging competition, varying consumer requirements and at the same time be cost efficient.
Read MoreThe main driver in 3D printing for vehicles is not printing the entire vehicle, but a move to 3D printing tooling and end-use parts. According to SmarTech, prototyping has only penetrated automotive prototyping by 15% to 20%. Ford, for example, has been 3D printing prototypes for over 20 years to decrease design time.

Electron beam melting (EBM) technology has the power to help businesses build the next generation of applications, today. Offering high productivity and lower cost per part, EBM is an innovative technology for manufacturing in the orthopedic implant and aerospace industries.
Design freedom for medical implants
Additive Manufacturing provides you the flexibility to customize the implant for patient needs, achieve desired mechanical properties, and ease surgery.
Medical implant complexity
You can add features to increase functionality and effectiveness of the implant without increasing production steps or costs.
Mechanics of the body
You can design porosity and pore size, as well as interconnectivity of trabecular structures to allow for enhanced initial fixation and bone ingrowth.
One medical implant
AM enables integrated trabecular structures that reduce risk of delamination and simplify the supply chain because the implant is made in one step—and one part.
Flexible and efficient production
AM is suitable for both serial production and manufacturing of mixed implant designs and sizes, without the need for change in hardware configuration. This allows for minimal waste and high productivity.
Joint implants
Cranio-Maxillofacial implants
Spinal implants
Surgical instruments
