Arcam Expands Alcoa’s 3D Printing Technology Portfolio, Delivers Arcam Q20plus


Arcam, listed on NASDAQ Stockholm and leading supplier of additive manufacturing
solutions, today announced that lightweight metals leader Alcoa (NYSE:AA) has
expanded its portfolio of additive manufacturing solutions to include the Arcam
Q20plus, Arcam’s largest, fastest 3D printer, at Alcoa’s Austin, TX facility.
Alcoa will leverage the printer’s larger size and high output electron beam
melting technology to meet increasing demand for complex, high-performance 3D
printed parts for aerospace.
The Arcam Q20plus allows Alcoa to print parts directly from a 3D computer model
by melting and fusing layers of fine metal powder with an electron beam. The
Arcam Q20plus is designed for cost-efficient manufacturing of a wide range of
aerospace-related components such as aerospace engine and industrial gas turbine
components and structural airframe components. The Arcam Q20plus offers the
additional advantages of faster build speed and a larger build envelope for
printing bigger components or enabling optimal stacking of smaller components.

"Arcam is proud to support Alcoa, an innovation leader in 3D printing for
aerospace, with our cutting edge 3D printing technology,” says Magnus René, CEO
of Arcam.
