The Royal Air Force (RAF) has introduced Wayland Additive's electron beam metal 3D printer, "Calibur3"!

Stable processes using new "electron" beam technology. Free parameter open access. Capable of shaping diverse materials.

This is a metal 3D printer using neutral "electron" beam technology that enables large-scale fabrication free of residual stress. It offers high-speed manufacturing, simplification of post-processing steps, and provides a more stable platform compared to other technologies. Thanks to its unique charge neutralization, it allows for stable processes without smoke generation, enabling the fabrication of large parts without being affected by stress. It supports 3D printing with a variety of metals and alloys, including Ni alloys, Ti alloys, Cu alloys, CoCr alloys, pure copper, copper alloys, cemented carbide (Vibenite 280/290), and high melting point metal materials. With fewer required post-processing steps, it allows for short production times and energy savings. Advanced in-process monitoring and control promote the development of a wide range of applications.

High hardness and high wear-resistant alloy powder for metal 3D printing.

VBN Components' Vibenite series is a powder material made of high hardness and high wear-resistant alloys that enable metal 3D printing. There are five types of powder steel, allowing for the selection of powders with higher hardness, high-temperature hardness, corrosion resistance, and toughness according to specific applications. The Vibenite series contains a high amount of carbide but does not require the mixing, drying, pressing, and sintering processes typical of conventional carbide manufacturing. It is suitable for metal 3D printing. Contract manufacturing is also available using the metal 3D printing equipment owned by VBN Components (maximum build size: approximately 230 x 230 x 350 mm). It can be used for applications such as power skiving cutters, large gear cutting hobs, pressure die casting tools, plastic and metal molding tools, cutting knives, and wear protection.

• Special Steel

Can be manufactured with a metal 3D printer. Improved high-temperature hardness and wear resistance, enhancing high-speed steel (HSS) applications through complex shapes and lightweight design.

Vibenite 480 is a 3D printing alloy that significantly improves high-temperature hardness and wear resistance due to its high carbide content. Its metal structure is stable under temperature changes, making it ideal for metal parts that require high-temperature durability. The 3D printing process allows for the creation of free and complex shapes, enabling the combination of multiple alloy components into a single part, lightweight design, and the internal design of various refrigerant flow paths. By shortening the lead time for prototype and initial mass production, it becomes possible to release new products in a timely manner. A major feature is that near-net-shape manufacturing eliminates the need for rough machining using machining centers, resulting in less grinding.
