Beam-IT is certainly Italy’s largest additive manufacturing service bureau. The company has strengthened its relations with SLM Solutions by adding to SLM machines to its portfolio.
In order to further research and to develop new parameters, the 3D Printing service bureau needed to increase its current equipment. An equipment that will now be exploited to fulfill its commitments towards companies and research institutions across diverse industries.
With the additional SLM®280 Selective Laser Melting machine that integrates twin lasers and a quad laser SLM®500, Beam-IT possesses a total of seven SLM® machines, not to mention the other types of technologies.
“We are pleased to announce our cooperation agreement with SLM Solutions and the two additional machines. We regularly produce high-quality parts for our customers using selective laser melting because the SLM® technology works efficiently, quickly and, above all, safely. With the expanded capacity of our new multi-laser systems we can also increase our productivity and react to the increased interest in SLM® technology from our customers,” says Michele Antolotti, General Manager of Beam-IT.
This collaboration is much more than the acquisition of 2 machines
Both companies will join forces to work on some material properties for the nickel-based alloys IN939 and IN718.
Exploiting accurate material characteristics are crucial to achieve optimal results during the SLM process. Beam-IT experience as a technology user is more than necessary to develop unique parameters with high-quality characteristics. The knowledge-sharing between the two companies during this process will be mutually beneficial in creating a shorter timeframe for parameter testing.
Kamer Geyisi, Sales Manager at SLM Solutions, shares his excitement regarding this new collaboration: “Beam-IT has a high technical expertise and is working with the Selective Laser Melting technology every day. As a partner to our customers throughout the entire additive manufacturing process chain, SLM Solutions is pleased to share our knowledge with Beam-IT and believe that we will also benefit from their experience with the technology. This partnership approach benefits both our companies, but will also help advance implementation of the technology throughout the entire market.”
