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.

In summer construction sites, the surface temperature of the ground plates and the heat reflection can affect the working environment. In particular, steel plates tend to retain heat when exposed to sunlight, making it a challenge to implement heatstroke prevention measures and improve the site environment for workers. Hyper CLT ground plates are civil engineering materials that utilize wood CLT. As wooden ground plates, they can be used for temporary roads, access routes, heavy machinery work yards, material storage areas, and pedestrian pathways, serving as a versatile alternative to steel plates in various civil engineering sites. In actual sites, there are cases where the surface temperature can differ by about 20 degrees compared to steel plates, making them an easy-to-suggest material for reducing heat reflection and preventing heatstroke in summer. The 5×10 plate weighs approximately 230 kg, and the 5×20 plate weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to handle even with small machinery, which also helps reduce construction burdens. Additionally, they feature noise reduction, environmental consideration, and CO2 fixation, which are unique to wood. As a registered technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS "TH-250021-A," these ground plates are also easy to utilize for innovative ideas and safety measures in public works. Companies looking to improve summer site environments are encouraged to consider Hyper CLT ground plates.

We will introduce the implementation results of the sensor technology developed by the Hotron Group, which has been cultivated over more than half a century, through customer case studies.

Many implementation examples are also presented, so please take a look at the case study page.

Japan is among the top 10 countries in the world with frequent earthquakes. The 2020 White Paper on Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has also reported an increase in the probability of significant earthquakes occurring. For the Nankai Trough earthquake, the probability of an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 to 9 occurring within the next 30 years is estimated to be 70 to 80%. At Hotron, we recommend the introduction of seismic devices for earthquake measures in buildings and equipment. The seismic device 'HK-2' is a product that automatically performs various controls that have been pre-set when it detects strong shaking equivalent to a seismic intensity of 5 lower or higher. For example, it can automatically execute actions such as: "Open automatic doors and gates to secure evacuation routes and access for emergency vehicles" "Transmit signals to the control room and stop facility equipment" "Unlock the keys to locked lockers" "Automatically play voice guidance" ◎ For more details, please download the materials or contact us.
