is held at the Meydenbauer Center in Bellevue, Washington June 21-24, is the leading materials conference and exposition for aerospace materials engineers, structural engineers and designers.

Sciaky’s DM process provides the first fully programmable means of achieving near-net shape parts, using many of the high performance alloys common to the aerospace industry. The process utilizes Sciaky’s state-of-the art electron beam welding technology to produce functional prototypes and production parts at a fraction of the cost of traditional manufacturing methods. Starting with a 3D model from a CAD program, Sciaky’s fully-articulated, moving electron beam gun deposits metal, layer by layer, until the part is complete. Depending on the part being manufactured, deposition rates can range from 15 to 40 pounds of metal per hour.

“The aerospace industry is always exploring new ways to improve design and manufacturing processes,” said Mike Riesen, General Manager of Sciaky, Inc. “AeroMat is an excellent venue for Sciaky to share recent process breakthroughs in DM Technology, as well as discuss applications with engineers, designers and end users.”

Sciaky’s DM experts will be on hand to answer questions at AeroMat in booth 312.
