Electron beam

Term · Additive manufacturing and 3D printing · MLC-T-ADM-000118

A focused stream of high-energy electrons used in certain additive manufacturing processes, such as electron beam melting (EBM), to melt and fuse powdered materials. The beam's energy precisely heats and consolidates metal powders in a vacuum environment. This method is particularly effective for processing reactive metals like titanium alloys.
