ELECTRON BEAM MACHINING (EBM) MACHINE

An Electron Beam Melting (EBM) machine is a type of additive manufacturing or 3D printing technology that uses an electron beam to melt and fuse metal powder into solid parts layer by layer. This process occurs in a vacuum environment, making EBM highly suitable for materials that require high melting points, such as titanium, cobalt-chrome, and other high-performance metals.
