Description
BeAM Magic 800 is a blown powder AM machine. Blown powder AM is commonly used by the aerospace sector to repair high-value components.
In this system, a deposition nozzle mounted on the Z-axis of a DED dedicated CNC (computer numerical control) machine is used. This allows continuous 5 axes of freedom to build/repair components layer by layer without the need for support structures.
The DED process involves directing metallic powder into a laser beam. The powder converges at the focal point of the laser, creating a melt pool which is laid down in a 5-axis configuration.
The machine’s capabilities include creating new alloys in situ so the properties of the deposited material can be changed during the build process. The build volume is 1200 x 800 x 800 mm.
