Arcam AB, supplier of Additive Manufacturing (âAMâ?) equipment, has recently participated with AM systems through Arcam EBM and with AM powders through AP&C. CoCr is, together with titanium, the prime material for the orthopedic industry and it is also a commonly used material in the aerospace industry. The availability of CoCr on the state of the art Arcam Q10plus system allows customers in the orthopedic market to take full advantage of the production capabilities of Arcamâs EBM technology. The CoCr process provides parts with high resolution, production level productivity and impeccable material properties. The process is supported by an animal study by Gothenburg University, showing bone interaction with CoCr.
The newly released Arcam Q10plus provides important features facilitating efficient manufacturing; Arcam xQam⢠â an innovative X-ray based detection system for automatic calibration and improved beam control. EBM Control 5.0 â an all new software platform adding functionality for more efficient and accurate beam control as well as new melt strategies, improving build speed and precision. MultiBeam â Arcamâs proprietary technology for parallel melting.
Following a surge in demand for AP&Câs high quality titanium powders for Additive Manufacturing AP&C continues to add significant capacity by building a new powder manufacturing plant. The new facility will provide manufacturing redundancy, short term capacity increase and long term expansion capability.
