Technology & Products

Key Products

Electron Beam Additive Manufacturing (EBAM) systems for large-scale metal 3D printing, electron beam welding systems, and components for aerospace and power generation.

Technological Advantage

The primary advantage of EBAM is its capability to produce very large parts, with systems capable of printing components up to 19 feet in length. This enables the consolidation of multiple smaller parts into a single, stronger component, improving performance and reducing assembly time. The technology supports a wide range of high-value metals, including titanium, tantalum, and nickel-based superalloys.

Differentiation

Value Proposition

Sciaky's EBAM technology offers a significantly faster and more cost-effective method to produce large metal parts (up to 19 feet) compared to traditional manufacturing like forging and casting, while drastically reducing material waste.

How They Differentiate

Sciaky differentiates itself by focusing on the largest-scale parts in the industry and its high-deposition rate EBAM process. While competitors exist in wire-fed Directed Energy Deposition (DED), Sciaky's electron beam technology and established presence in the aerospace and defense sectors provide a strong competitive moat.
