Arcam Q20, a new large EBM system for Additive Manufacturing in the aerospace industry


Arcam AB (publ), listed on the NASDAQ OMX Stockholm, today launches
Arcam Q20, a new EBM system designed specifically for manufacturing in the
aerospace industry.
The new EBM system is developed with support from leading aerospace
manufacturers. The Arcam Q20 is based on Arcam’s latest technology platform, the
Q-series, presented in the Arcam Q10 which was launched earlier this year.

Arcam is primarily active in two market segments, the aerospace and the
orthopedic implant industries. The orthopedic industry started using EBM already
in 2007, and EBM is today well established as a production process for implants,
with more than 30.000 EBM-manufactured orthopedic devices implanted worldwide.
The aerospace industry is now also about to move into series production for
several product applications. The Arcam Q20 well serves its needs with several
new features for industrial volume production, including increased productivity,
higher resolution, and Arcam LayerQam™, a camera-based monitoring system for
part quality verification.

“With Arcam Q20 we sharpen our offering to one of our main markets, the
aerospace industry. Arcam Q20 represents a new EBM generation, with a focus on
continued industrialization of the technology”, says Magnus René, CEO of Arcam,
and continues;

“Arcam Q20 strengthens our already strong product program for aerospace
manufacturing, a market that puts high demands on both the technology and the
application expertise. The first Arcam Q20 user will be Poly-Shape in France,
from whom we received an order last week.”
