Arcam Q10

Product catalog summary
Specifications
The Arcam Q10 is a hot powder bed/high vacuum additive manufacturing machine designed for producing small to medium-sized metal components, particularly orthopedic implants. It features a maximum build size of 200x200x180 mm and a beam power of 3000 W. The machine uses a single crystalline cathode and has a minimum beam diameter of 100 μm. The EBM MultiBeam™ technology allows for multiple melt pools, with a maximum electron beam translation speed of 8000 m/s. The system includes active cooling with a water-cooled heat sink and operates under a vacuum base pressure of 1x10-5 mbar, with a build atmosphere of 1x10-3 mbar partial pressure of helium.
Procedures
The Arcam EBM process involves building implants layer-by-layer from metal powder, melted by an electron beam. Each layer is precisely melted according to a 3D CAD model. The process occurs in a vacuum and at elevated temperatures, resulting in stress-relieved implants with superior material properties.
Features
The Arcam Q10 includes the latest generation electron beam gun, improved build platform insulation, fast cooling, closed powder handling, and Arcam LayerQam™ for build verification. The software is adapted for volume production, enhancing productivity and resolution.
Applications
Specifically designed for implant manufacturing, the Arcam Q10 optimizes the build area for stacking common implant types, facilitating easy powder handling and quick turnaround times. The build chamber is designed for maximum productivity, exemplified by tower stacking of acetabular cups.
Technical Data
Power supply requirements are 3 x 400 V, 32 A, 7kW. The machine dimensions are 1850 x 900 x 2200 mm, with a weight of 1420 kg. It includes a process computer with a standard STL CAD interface and Ethernet networking capabilities. The machine is CE certified.
