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...
