Electron Beam Melting

Why FIT?

Extensive experience with electron beam melting (EBM or Electron Beam Powder Bed Fusion PBF-EB/M), as we have been using this process since 2005.
We have access to 4 modern machines with different capacities.
Based on EN ISO 13485, we are able to produce titanium blanks for the medical device industry on the EBM systems.

EBM - description of the process

The EBM process (electron beam melting or Electron Beam Powder Bed Fusion PBF-EB/M) produces components by fusing layers of metal powder with an electron beam in a high vacuum. A cathode heated to 2,500 °C emits electrons, which are guided by electromagnetic fields and hit the metal powder at half the speed of light. This completely fuses the powder at that point. The vacuum prevents any oxygen from being trapped, which makes the components very strong.
