ELECTRON BEAM MELTING (EBM)
The process of creating the part is carried out in a vacuum working chamber at a temperature of approximately 700-900ᵒC.
Thanks to this, the parts created during the process have no internal stresses and the properties obtained are superior to those that can be obtained in a foundry.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
| Minimum wall thickness | 1 mm |
| Minimal detail to be reproduced | 0,6 mm |
| Precision | 0,3% (min +/- 0,25) |

CUSTOMISE YOUR PIECES
If you wish to include customised texts in your EBM pieces, please follow our recommendations.
If the text is to be engraved internally, higher print parameters must be set.

SUPPORT OPTIMISATION
In the Direct Metal Laser Sintering technology it is necessary to build supports that help sustain the piece and transmit the heat provided to the base. The technical team of the project will be in charge of removing them.
