Comparing the output and layer thickness of the "electron beam method" and the "laser beam method"!
Our company offers contract manufacturing services using metal 3D printers. In metal 3D printers that use metal powder, there are two types of heat sources for melting the powder: "electron beam" and "laser beam." The "electron beam" has a higher output compared to the "laser beam," resulting in faster manufacturing speeds. In the "electron beam" method, a pre-sintered state is created to prevent the charging of metal powder, and since it is manufactured at high temperatures, there is less residual stress after manufacturing. This also reduces distortion and cracking due to internal stress, and less support material is required. In the "laser beam" method, smaller powder particle sizes are used, which results in slower manufacturing speeds, but it excels in surface roughness of the manufactured products and is suitable for creating relatively fine structures. 【Features】 ■ Electron Beam Method - Fast manufacturing speed - Requires less support material, providing excellent cost competitiveness - Almost no residual stress occurs after manufacturing, suppressing distortion and cracking due to internal stress ■ Laser Beam Method - Uses powder with small particle sizes - Extremely excellent surface roughness of the products, suitable for creating fine structures *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Company information
Japan Metal Additive Manufacturing Technology (JAMPT) was established in November 2017 by partners who aspire to spread and permeate metal 3D printer technology in Japan. JAMPT is a service bureau (SB) that can provide a comprehensive service from powder development and manufacturing to prototyping and mass production, making it the first of its kind in Japan in the field of metal 3D printing. With the pioneering presence of Koiwai Co., Ltd., academic backing and technical support from Professor Akihiko Chiba of Tohoku University (Institute of Metal Materials), and the global network and information power of Sojitz Corporation, we will demonstrate advanced capabilities in the field of metal 3D printing. As part of a super-smart society in manufacturing, while standing at the forefront of metal 3D printer technology, we aim to think about AM technology in the manufacturing field and overcome challenges together with our customers, providing unprecedented new products and new value chains to society, thereby contributing to the creation of a prosperous society. We wish to continue holding this aspiration. "Metal 3D printer? Let's ask JAMPT." We will strive to become a company where such voices can be heard in the field of our customers' product development.
