Arcam CoCr material for the Q10plus

Additive manufacturing equipment specialist Arcam AB is introducing its CoCr material for its Arcam Q10plus electron beam melting (EBM) machine.

CoCr is, together with titanium, the prime material for the orthopaedic industry and is also a commonly used material in aerospace applications. CoCr provides parts with high resolution, production level productivity and good material properties, says Arcam.

The newly released Arcam Q10plus is the latest iteration of Arcam’s EBM technology, providing features that include: Arcam xQam – an X-ray-based detection system for automatic calibration and improved beam control; EBM Control 5.0 – a newly-developed software platform adding functionality for more efficient and accurate beam control, as well as new melt strategies; and MultiBeam – Arcam’s proprietary technology for parallel melting.
