Sciaky Inc, a subsidiary of Phillips Service Industries (PSI) Inc and provider of metal additive manufacturing (AM) solutions, is set to deliver an electron beam additive manufacturing (EBAM) 110 system to Burloak Technologies, a division of Samuel Son & Co Ltd.

Burloak Technologies provides lightweight, fully functional additive manufactured parts for a range of industries that include space, aerospace, defence, energy, medical, automotive and transportation.

“Using traditional subtractive processes, such as forging and machining, the production of titanium parts of this size could take 12 months, and generate a significant amount of waste,” says Peter Adams, co-founder and president of Burloak Technologies. “In contrast, our EBAM 110 system will allow us to manufacture the same large-scale titanium structural parts in a matter of days. We are already engaged with several aerospace end users who have started the qualification process with us.”

Scott Phillips, president and CEO of Sciaky, adds: “EBAM is the most widely sold large-scale metal 3D printing system in the world, having qualified parts in land, sea, air and space applications. Burloak Technologies will leverage the numerous benefits of EBAM to produce faster and cheaper parts for their customers across the globe.”

Sciaky’s EBAM systems can make components ranging from 203 mm to 5.79 m in length. Moreover, EBAM offers gross deposition rates ranging from 3.18 to 11.34 kg of metal per hour. The system uses the IRISS Interlayer Real-time Imaging and Sensing System, a real-time adaptive control that can sense and digitally self-adjust metal deposition.
