Now the goal is to combine expertise from both realms into a metal 3D printer based on electron-beam melting (EBM). The concept is something of an all-in-one device that combines traits of an ...

shapes are drawn onto a wafer using an electron beam in a vacuum chamber. This is a slow process compared to optical lithography, as used in mass production, but it is reasonably simple and very ...

is the process of melting and joining various materials such as metal. Traditional welding utilizes heat from an arc (a spark generated by an electrical discharge) or a laser. Electron beam ...
