DESCRIPTION

Save time and money on the production of large-scale, high-value parts and prototypes with Sciaky’s one-of-a-kind metal Additive Manufacturing process Sciaky launched its groundbreaking Electron Beam Additive Manufacturing (AM) process in 2009 with the objective to save manufacturers time and money on the production of large-scale, high-value metal parts and prototypes. Today, Sciaky’s AM process remains the only large-scale, fully-programmable means of achieving near-net shape parts made of titanium, tantalum, inconel and other high-value metals. What is Sciaky's definition of large-scale parts? Sciaky’s AM process has a standard build envelope of 19' x 4' x 4' (L x W x H), allowing manufacturers to produce very large parts and structures, with virtually no waste. How does Sciaky’s Additive Manufacturing process work? Starting with a 3D model from a CAD program, Sciaky's fully-articulated, moving electron beam welding gun deposits metal (via wire; also known as Electron Beam Free Form Fabrication), layer by layer, until the part is built and ready for minor finish machining. Deposition rates typically range from 7 to 20 lbs/hr, depending upon part geometry and the material selected. Call us today at 877-450-2518 and learn how Sciaky’s additive manufacturing process can: • Drastically reduce your material costs • Dramatically shorten your lead times • Slash machining time by as much as 80% • Save money over costly forgings • Eliminate wait time for dies, molds and expensive billet

Game Changing Technology—Sciaky’s Addit ive Manufacturing Solution Will Amaze You. Let us show you how Sciaky’s Additive Manufacturing (AM) solution will impact your profi ts, your effi ciency, the entire way you look at your part manufacturing process. Sciaky’s AM solution is the fi rst commercially-available, large-scale, fully-programmable means of achieving near-net shape parts. The solution utilizes Sciaky’s state-of-the art Electron Beam Additive Manufacturing (EBAM) technology to produce functional prototypes and production parts at a fraction of the cost of traditional manufacturing methods.

Starting with a 3D model from a CAD program, Sciaky’s fully-articulated, moving electron beam gun deposits metal, layer by layer, until the part is complete. Depending on the part being manufactured, deposition rates can range up to 250 cubic inches per hour. With a light alloy, such as Titanium and Tantalum, this translates to a real-time deposition rate of 40 pounds per hour. A wide range of engineering alloys are compatible with the AM process and are readily available in the form of welding wire from an existing supply base. These include, but are not limited to, stainless steels, Cobalt alloys, Nickel alloys, Copper Nickel alloys, Inconel alloys, as well as many other high-value materials.

Putting AM to work. Sciaky’s AM process begins with a 3D CAD model, which is then used for deposition path planning to build the near-net shaped part in a layer upon layer method. The original part model is modifi ed such that fi nal machining operations can net a fi nished part. Additionally, the part is evaluated for symmetry and other features that can be optimized in conjunction with the starting substrate plate. Once deposition is complete, the preform may be subjected to additional testing and heat treatments prior to fi nal machining.

Less material + Less machining time + Shorter lead times = Maximized cost savings! To learn more, call us at 877.450.2518, or visit us at sciaky.com.

Sciaky’s AM solution will:• Drastically reduce material costs. Aerospace Tier 1 suppliers calculate “Buy-to-Fly” ratios for structural Titanium parts that are machined from a billet or forging. For example, a 250 lb billet that nets a 5 lb fl y away part would have a “Buy-to-Fly” ratio of 50. • Slash your machining time by as much as 80%.

• Dramatically shorten your lead times. The fastest process for many fi rst article parts is through the use of off-the-shelf fl exible tooling.

Additional benefits of Sciaky’s AM solution It Comes with an Intuitive Process Control SystemSciaky has developed an adaptive closed-loop control system that is designed to automatically maintain key process characteristics, such as melt pool geometry, throughout a part build, which assures repeatable quality and consistency.

It Adds Quality and Cost Control Features to your Manufacturing Process

• Repair worn, damaged or mis-machined parts in manufacturing - Additive process can recover high-value parts.

• Provides “Parts Now” and in-the-fi eld repairs at remote repair stations - Ideally suited for DoD depots.

- Adds to greater availability of assets. - Eliminates storage or platforms awaiting repair parts and delivery. - Permits quick refurbishment of legacy systems. - Permits recovery and re-deployment of high value components. - Minimizes inventories and eliminates large lot re-supply requirements.

It Gives You an Edge Over the Competition• Increases machine shop yield and throughput • Provides competitive pricing leverage

It’s GreenSciaky’s AM solution is an inherently green process that saves energy, eliminates waste and reduces emissions.

Additive Manufacturing cost effectiveness versus other processes.

Sciaky’s AM process has been developed to deposit material only where it is needed to reduce the

amount of starting materials required, which also translates into reduced time for machining. The above example is of a titanium aircraft material comparison.
