Discover how the JAM-5200EBM and JEOL can help revolutionise your production processes and bring unparalleled manufacturing capabilities to your organisation.
pro-beam additive GmbH
pro-beam additive GmbH is part of the pro-beam Group, a global leader in the field of electron beam technology. The company enables two additive manufacturing processes for metal components – EBM (Electron Beam Melting) and WEBAM (Wire Electron Beam Additive Manufacturing) – as well as corresponding machines.
EBM is especially suitable for compact as well as highly detailed metal components. With the company’s efficient EBM system PB EBM 30S customers can build parts from a batch size of 1 up to serial production in a powder bed. The process is reproducible and ensures high-quality and fast production. At the same time, processes are parallelized so that users benefit from maximized productivity.
WEBAM is suitable for large components made of high-performance metals as well as reactive metals. With the wire-based PB WEBAM 100 customers can manufacture their components in a flexible, quick and material-efficient manner, while multi-material components are possible. The process is reproducible and leads to very good surface qualities.
REM Surface Engineering
REM Surface Engineering is a global provider of surface engineering solutions. REM’s Extreme ISF® Process is a suite of subtractive, isotropic superfinishing processes tailored to the metal additive manufacturing industry. The technology can reduce the extreme surface roughness associated with metal AM while removing/remediating surface and near-surface defects. Applicable alloys include titanium, nickel-based, copper, steel, stainless steel, and refractory alloys. Some key benefits for AM components include increase bending fatigue resistance, reduced pressure drop, improved corrosion resistance, and improved cleanliness. REM’s processes can remove support structures and accommodate complex geometries such as internal channels and lattices. REM offers the Extreme ISF Process as an outsourced solution or as a complete technology installation.
REM’s ISF Technologies have been used to enhance the performance of parts in many industries, including Aerospace, Space, Medical, Heavy Equipment, and many others. REM locations are ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100:2016 Rev. D certified.
Wayland Additive Ltd.
Wayland Additive was founded in 2019 to bring to market a new generation of electron beam additive manufacturing machines. Wayland’s objective is to simplify the electron beam process and machine operation whilst increasing the breadth of process capability thereby increasing the technological and market reach for electron beam AM. Wayland’s hot part process, as opposed to a hot bed process, creates stress free parts with less structural scaffolding, higher productivity and lower total part costs. With a strong heritage in electron beam systems, charged particle physics and additive manufacturing Wayland has created a new technology, NEUBEAM®, that builds on the best of electron beam’s capabilities whilst taking away the constraints. With machines now in the field and in production Wayland is looking for pioneers and innovators to join them in their AM journey.

Collaborative Research Center 814 – Additive Manufacturing
The CRC 814 – Additive Manufacturing deals with the basic research of additive manufacturing processes. The CRC 814 creates the scientific basics for the production of geometrically complex and highly functionalized multi-material parts, as well as for computer-aided component design and component testing.
In the future, components should be produced from plastics or metal-based materials without specific tooling. Away from rapid prototyping to manufacturing, these technologies are empowered by the CRC 814 to fabricate serial components in the desired quality. Since 2011, more than 35 scientists are working on this major interdisciplinary project at the FAU. The third funding period started in July 2019.
Collaborative Research Center / Transregio 103 – Superalloy Single Crystals
The Collaborative Research Centre SFB/Transregio 103 “From atoms to turbine blades – a scientific basis for a new generation of single crystal superalloys” is funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG). The partner universities who collaborate in SFB/Transregio 103 are the Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) and the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU). Three external projects from the Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung (MPIE), the Forschungszentrum Jülich (FZ Jülich) and from the German Aerospace Center (DLR) strengthen the activity.
In SFB/TR 103, different disciplines join forces: processing and manufacturing (melting and casting, additive manufacturing, heat treatment, HIPing), materials testing (elastic constants, creep, high temperature fatigue), advanced materials characterization (SEM, TEM and AP) and scale bridging materials modelling (first principle calculations, phase field modelling, discrete dislocation modelling, finite element analysis).
