Wayland Additive will exhibit its NeuBeam technology at Formnext 2024.
The process has already gained significant traction in the market, with multiple commercial sales signaling the technology’s readiness for widespread industrial adoption. Unlike other AM systems, NeuBeam®’s stabilized electron beam (eBeam) process in the Calibur3 system has been developed specifically for production purposes. This approach reflects the experience and fresh thinking brought by Wayland’s development team, many of whom hail from the semiconductor industry.
“The future of AM for production continues to evolve and expand. Working with the team at Wayland, I believe we are now started to fulfil the long-awaited potential of AM with a broader spectrum of metal materials. With NeuBeam, we haven’t just adapted existing technology, we’ve created something entirely new and stable, designed to meet the needs of serious production applications without being limited by the materials,” said Peter Hansford, Wayland’s chief revenue officer.
NeuBeam technology unlocks the potential of eBeam metal AM through process stability, flexibility, and advanced in-process monitoring. The process is hot-part rather than hot-bed, reducing residual stresses and making powder removal easier. This gives users flexibility to choose the temperature and melt strategy that best suits the part, material selection and application, rather than being confined by the process itself.
“Our early commercial successes are proof that NeuBeam is resonating with customers. Early adopters are working with a truly groundbreaking process, not a repurposed or copied one. NeuBeam offers an open, transparent process, allowing manufacturers to print what they need, rather than being constrained by process limitations,” said Hansford.
Formnext attendees will have the opportunity to see a Calibur3 metal AM system and the parts it has produced, as well as learning how NeuBeam is reshaping the metal AM landscape. “We’re not interested in delivering black-box solutions,” adds Hansford. “We will be at Formnext to form partnerships and develop tailored solutions for our customers, ensuring they get the best out of metal AM and achieve real production success.”
