Arcam xQam
EBM has several fundamental benefits
• Some of them are well known• High power >> high productivity
• Vacuum >> clean process
• High temp >> no residual stresses
• Others are less known - but just as important• Low reflection/high energy absorbtion, compared to laser
Key to the high productivity of EBM
• X-rays emission, carrying vast amount of useful information about the process
• X-ray emissions provides an excellent opportunity for process monitoring - if captured
• The Arcam xQam™ is capable of doing exactly that!

Arcam xQam™
What is it?
Arcam xQam is an X-ray detection system for powerful process monitoring
Over time, various functionality will be developed on it
Today: xQam Auto-calibration
Offers automatic, quick, high precision calibration and system diagnostics that is completely operator independent. Frequent high precision calibration is crucial for a robust and predictable operation.
Tomorrow: xQam SEM
Imagine the power of doing In-Situ SEM on every production part
What Arcam xQam can potentially do is principally the same as a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Coming functionality will include in-situ monitoring of both powder bed topography, chemical composition and defects.
The Arcam xQam opens up for future in-situ SEM-validation of every built component, in an industrial environment.
