Industry Segments

Additive Manufacturing is steadily gaining acceptance for production of critical components in different industries. Arcam is with our EBM process in the forefront of this development, with an increasing number of production applications within both Aerospace and the Medical Implant industries.

Production cases usually revolve around parts with complex geometries and sometimes also the use of materials that are difficult or expensive to process with conventional methods. The inherent production challenges of such parts create a drive to look for innovative production methods. In the orthopedic field such challenges are present in two obvious areas, patient-specific (custom) implants based on CT data and press-fit standard implants with advanced porous materials. In the Aerospace industry the constant drive for light-weight designs also leads to parts with very complex geometries.
