Company Description

Problem

Traditional metal additive manufacturing (AM) processes often struggle with material limitations, residual stress, extensive post-processing requirements, and restrictions on part size and complexity, hindering their broader adoption across various industries. Existing electron beam (eBeam) AM systems are plagued by stability issues related to powder charging, while laser-based methods face challenges with material reflectivity and heat conductivity.

Solution

Wayland Additive offers the Calibur3 metal AM system, powered by NeuBeam technology, to overcome the limitations of conventional metal AM. NeuBeam neutralizes the electron beam, preventing powder charging and enabling the use of a wider range of materials without pre-sintering. This results in faster build times, reduced material wastage, and the production of stress-free parts with minimal post-processing. The Calibur3 system's open architecture facilitates the development of new processing parameters and real-time process optimization, while its large build volume allows for the creation of bigger parts or higher production throughput.

Features

NeuBeam eBeam technology neutralizes the electron beam to prevent powder charging and enhance metallurgical capabilities.

Open system architecture allows for flexible development of new processing parameters and optimized material usage.

Large build volume (300 x 300 x 450mm) enables printing of more parts per run or large single-piece prints.

Reduced post-processing due to the absence of a hard sinter cake and the elimination of structural supports.

Rapid material development facilitated by a removable build tank and the option for a small build tank (SBT).

In-process monitoring using structured light, electron imaging, and high-speed infrared cameras for real-time quality assurance.

Calibur PRS (Powder Recovery System) for semi-automated powder recovery and part cleaning.

Compatibility with a range of materials, including titanium alloys, nickel-based alloys, copper alloys, and high-carbon steels.

Target Audience

The primary target audience includes manufacturers in aerospace, medical, energy, automotive, mining, and defense industries seeking to produce high-performance metal parts with complex geometries and demanding material requirements.
