Sciaky, Inc., a subsidiary of Phillips Service Industries, Inc. (PSI) and a provider of metal additive manufacturing (AM) solutions, recently announced that it will highlight its patented IRISS? closed-loop control, which powers its Electron Beam Additive Manufacturing (EBAM) systems, at the upcoming Rapid 3D Manufacturing Event in Florida.
IRISS, which stands for Interlayer Real-time Imaging & Sensing System, provides consistent process control for part geometry, mechanical properties, microstructure, and metal chemistry for large-scale 3D printed parts. This innovative technology, which is exclusive to Sciaky EBAM systems, monitors the metal deposition process in real time and makes adjustments to the process parameters that compensate for variation throughout the build process. EBAM systems utilize wire feedstock, which is available in a variety of metals such as titanium, tantalum, niobium, tungsten, molybdenum, Inconel, aluminum, stainless steels, nickel alloys, and more.
