Electron Beam Melting (EBM) is a powder-bed-fusion process for additive manufacturing of metallic parts. In the talk, the state-of-the-art of the process will be briefly covered. Furthermore, in case studies concerning powder, material and process development as well as design aspects the application potential of EBM will be presented.

Burghardt Klöden studied physics at the Technical University of Dresden and Sheffield University. After earning his PhD degree in Solid State Physics, he joined Fraunhofer IFAM Dresden in 2006. Starting with applied R&D in the field of powder-metallurgical high temperature materials, he took over responsibility for the EBM technology in 2012.

Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Technology and Advanced Materials IFAM carries out applied research and development along the entire value chain.

 

The department of Functional Printing has gained extensive experience in this domain, focusing on printed electronics and sensors. Our interdisciplinary team works in cooperation with our customers to develop the concepts for functional integration, combining the materials and manufacturing processes. To implement the integration of functions in manufacturing, various technologies, such as 3D printing, ink-jet printing, aerosol printing, screen printing, as well as sputtering processes are available.
