BEAMIT Group (BEAMIT), partly owned by SANDVIK, has invested in a GE Additive Concept Laser M Line system to meet growing demand from its aerospace and defense customers for both large format metal 3D-printed components and assistance in industrializing additive production.
这项投资是在Avio Aero，Beamit和GE Addivity签署了有关战略技术合作的意向书六个月之后进行的。Beamit是GE添加剂的长期客户，并运营着概念激光器和ARCAM EBM机器，包括MLAB，M2和X线平台，以及其三个制造工厂及其子公司Pres-X的两台Q10Plus机器。
“作为我们的“一站式”战略的一部分,我们有continued to invest in our value chain over the past seven years and have also achieved rigorous ISO 9001, AS 9100 quality certifications and NADCAP accreditation needed to service the aerospace sector. That investment has not gone unnoticed and we continue to attract new aerospace, space and defense customers, while supporting existing customers who have already commenced their additive journey,” said Mauro Antolotti, President of BEAMIT Group.
“今天，我们看到客户对更大，更复杂的零件和更高量的需求不断增长，这就是为什么我们投资于第一线的M Line System的原因。基于我们在发现添加剂制造的新应用方面的强大且公认的专业知识，我们在新的平台M系列中看到，加上我们的完整尖端端到端价值链，这是技术飞跃的关键，以显着提高生产在不久的将来。Beamit团队准备探索M线的潜力，并通过将系统与随后的所有后处理阶段连接起来，从而不断地改善工业化过程。我们将与GE Additive的AddWorks顾问紧密合作，以使这一发展更快。” Beamit Group的首席商务官Andrea Scanavini说。
The rise in demand for larger parts that BEAMIT is experiencing is replicated across the commercial aerospace, space and defense sectors, globally. Additive users across the aerospace supply chain continue to invest in innovation and in doing so continue to set the bar high for the deployment of increasingly mature metal additive applications. The progression in terms of complexity and volume is a reflection of the evolving sophistication of in-house additive teams, one-stop shop companies like BEAMIT with an end-to-end approach, and the wider aerospace additive ecosystem.
这一最新的工业化阶段是基于在整个航空航天行业部署金属添加剂方面的广泛成功，在该行业中，用户能够在生产力和降低成本局中表现出切实的投资回报，现在能够做出切实的业务缩放其添加剂操作的案例。
“Being closely aligned through our own activities across GE Aviation, including Avio Aero, and many other customers in aerospace, we anticipated this next wave of industrialization. For some time our common objective with BEAMIT has been to work closely together to enable their customers to make the shift to industrialization as seamless as possible, we feel now quite proud that this becomes a reality,” said Rob Dean, GE Additive’s AddWorks senior leader in Europe.
一旦安装在意大利的工厂，Beamit团队将在GE Addive的AddWorks顾问的支持下，将M线的利用推向其质量，生产力和驾驶成本的全部潜力。
M系列是针对高质量，高吞吐量的场景开发的，并很好地借给了高度监管的行业，例如航空航天和医疗部门。尽管它是直观且易于操作的，但M系列是一种高度研究的工业化生产系统，非常适合经验丰富金属添加剂用户多年并且已经开始扩展生产量的客户。
“Customers, like BEAMIT, recognize that GE Additive’s experience and products can help them move to serial production quicker. It’s great to see BEAMIT invest in the M Line and build on our strategic technology collaboration that will not only benefit the aerospace industry, but also the wider industrial additive community here in Europe and around the world,” said Wolfgang Lauer, product line manager – M Line, GE Additive.
