Spectra H

Product catalog summary

Introduction
The document discusses the Spectra H, an advanced additive manufacturing machine by Colibrium Additive, designed to enhance high-volume industrial production capabilities. It highlights the machine's ability to produce parts at temperatures exceeding 1,000 °C, facilitating the creation of high-integrity parts more efficiently.

Specifications
The Spectra H features a 39% larger build chamber compared to previous models, allowing for larger and faster production of parts. It includes a 6 kW beam that doubles the power output, enabling up to 50% faster builds. The machine is capable of working with high-temperature, crack-prone materials such as TiAl.

Technological Features
The Spectra H incorporates advanced technologies such as xQam™ for high-precision beam autocalibration and LayerQam™ for inline part quality verification. These systems ensure efficient operation and accurate defect diagnosis.

Powder Handling System
The machine is supported by a closed-loop powder handling system that maintains powder integrity. This system includes a Powder Recovery Station, auto dosing sieve, and hopper filler station, ensuring powders are contained and not cross-contaminated.

Point Melt Technology
Point Melt technology allows for precise temperature control by melting metal powder through small points. This reduces temperature gradients and improves surface quality, enabling strategies like multiple passes for better microstructure control.

Technical Data
Key technical specifications include a maximum build size of 250 x 430 mm, a maximum beam power of 6 kW, and a typical process temperature range of 600-1,100°C. The machine supports materials such as TiAl, Nickel Alloy 718, and Cobalt Chrome CoCr.

Conclusion
The Spectra H represents a significant advancement in additive manufacturing, offering enhanced capabilities for high-temperature production and improved material properties through innovative technologies.

Point Melt Technology for EBM Point Melt, available on Colibrium Additive’s Spectra EBM printers, is a process during which metal powder is melted through small “points” instead of lines as commonly done. This technology enables a more accurate temperature control, reducing temperature gradients and sintering needs. As result, metal parts produced using Point Melt can benefit from elimination of supports needed to build overhangs and an improved surface quality. Point Melt also enables additional strategies such as multiple passes on the same area allowing melt pool control and the resulting...
