OUR HISTORY
BeAM, part of the AddUp Group since 2018, designs and produces industrial metal additive manufacturing machines employing Directed Energy Deposition technology (DED). With our partners, we built and tested our Magic 1.0 system over a period of the next several years. The first industrial machines were delivered in early 2016 and we have continued to grow, test, and create new systems s
ince.Utilizing the global additive manufacturing expertise of AddUp, BeAM, Poly-Shape, Michelin, and Fives, we are able to offer complete AM solutions from training and consultancy to R&D, prototyping, and serial production. PROCESS
The DED process can be used for a variety of industrial applications, including extending the life of parts by providing wear resistant coatings, repairing broken or damaged parts, multi-material applications, creating additional structures on preexisting parts, and building precise complex geometry. BeAM’s DED process involves a custom deposition nozzle mounted on the Z-Axis of a CNC machine. The nozzle is moved in 3 linear axes while the build platform works in 2 rotational axes for a total of 5 simultaneous axes. Metal parts produced on BeAM Machines have a near net shape finish with no supports, allowing for less post processing and material waste. All of our machines feature BeAM designed co-axial nozzles with optional upgrades such as additional nozzle and laser sizes, controlled atmosphere, automatic tool changer, touch probe, and additional powder hoppers.
