Sciaky offers contract services and electron beam AM machines for large parts

EBAM technology can be used to build parts from Inconel, titanium, tantalum, and other high-value materials.

Sciaky Inc. offers various lines of additive manufacturing equipment, as well as AM-build services.

A subsidiary of Phillips Services Industries Inc., the Chicago-based Sciaky’s Electron Beam Additive Manufacturing (EBAM) system is recommended for producing large-scale, high-value metal parts. The system can build structural components up to 19 ft. long by 4 ft. wide by 4 ft. high, as well as parts with diameters greater than 8 ft.

The EBAM process starts with a 3D model from a CAD program. Then Sciaky’s electron-beam gun deposits metal (via wire feedstock), layer by layer, until the part reaches near-net shape and is ready for finish machining. EBAM can be used to make components from stainless steel, titanium, Inconel, or tantalum, to name a few.

Plus, with an EBAM dual-wire-feed system, users can combine two different metal alloys into a single melt pool, managed with independent program control, to create “custom alloy” parts or ingots.

Sciaky uses EBAM equipment at its 3D printing facility to serve customers seeking to outsource AM parts production.
