Arcam EBM provides a proven additive manufacturing process for volume production of metal components. The technology offers freedom in design combined with excellent material properties and high productivity that drives cost savings.

Head office, R&D and production facilities are located in Gothenburg, Sweden. Arcam is an innovative partner for manufacturing primarily in the orthopedic implant and aerospace industries, where we deliver customer value through our competence and solution orientation.

Since the birth of Arcam, our vision has remained the same: to revolutionize the art of manufacturing complex parts. Arcam offers a complete portfolio of EBM machines, auxiliary equipment, software, metal powders, service and training to support our customers. The patent portfolio consists of 200 patents/patent applications belonging to 56 different registered patent families. Today, more than 300 systems are installed worldwide.

Milestones

1993

Patent describing the principle of melting electrically conductive powder, layer by layer, with an electric beam, for manufacturing three-dimensional bodies.
1997

Arcam AB was founded and the company continued the development on its own, with the objective to further develop and commercialize the fundamental idea behind the patent.
2002

With two units installed at clients, the technology was finally ready for commercialization. The first production model, the EBM S12, was launched at EuroMold in Frankfurt at the end of 2002.
2007

In 2007 Arcam passed a very important milestone for the orthopedic implant industry. Adler Ortho Group, the Italian manufacturer of orthopedic implants, launched the CE-certified hip implant Fixa Ti-Por on the European market. Numerous CE-certified and FDA approved implants manufactured with the EBM technology have been launched after this breakthrough.

Arcam also released the next production model, the larger A2, primarily for production of larger structural parts for the aerospace industry.
2009

Arcam released the A1, specifically developed for volume production of orthopedic implants. The same year Arcam also released the A2X, offering a build chamber more suitable for processing high temperature materials and a slightly larger build envelope.
2012

Arcam released the A2XX, offering the largest build envelope so far on the EBM platform.
2013

Arcam released the Q10, specifically designed for the industrial production of implants, and the Q20 for the industrial production of aerospace-related components.
2018

One of our new 2018 machines, Spectra H is designed for high temperature applications. A large machine that can print an array of difficult materials, including TiAl, Spectra can serve applications previously unattainable.
