Burloak Technologies to acquire Sciaky EBAM system to 3-D print titanium parts

Sciaky Inc., a Chicago-based subsidiary of Phillips Service Industries Inc. and provider of metal additive manufacturing (AM) systems, has announced it will deliver an Electron Beam Additive Manufacturing (EBAM®) 110 system to Burloak Technologies, a Dundas, Ont.-based division of Samuel, Son and Co. Ltd.

Burloak Technologies is a supplier of lightweight, functional AM parts for industries including space, aerospace, defense, energy, medical, automotive, and transportation.

"Using traditional subtractive processes, such as forging and machining, the production of titanium parts of this size could take one year while generating a significant amount of waste," said Peter Adams, co-founder and president of Burloak Technologies.

"Our EBAM 110 system will allow us to manufacture the same large-scale titanium structural parts in a matter of days. We are already engaged with several aerospace end-users who have started the qualification process with us."

The EBAM system is expected to be delivered in July 2019.
