METAL ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING SYSTEM FEATURING NEUBEAM TECHNOLOGY

Calibur3 featuring the NeuBeam metal AM process offers a true 3rd way compared with SLM & traditional eBeam systems. Calibur3 provides a real step-change and promotes true innovation, which should be key to any advancement in technology.

This commercially available system overcomes the compromises that most companies have to contend with when using metal AM, which means they can now revisit applications that were previously seen as troublesome or impossible and/or begin development projects with new materials and a clearer view of the process. Calibur3 is a modular metal AM machine that saves both time and money from end-to-end, one that can benefit commercial AM objectives.

Providing a real step-change and promoting true innovation, which should be key to any advancement in technology.
