BeAM is a global OEM of Directed Energy Deposition machines headquartered in Strasbourg, France. Our technology is ideal for repairing components, adding features to existing parts or building near net shape parts with minimal post processing. Designed durably for the demands of today’s metal additive applications, BeAM’s DED systems are truly a critical ingredient in your “factory of the futur

WHAT WE DO DIRECTED ENERGY DEPOSITION DED is an Additive Manufacturing process where focused thermal energy is used to fuse materials by melting them as they are deposited. BeAM's industrial solutions typically utilize a deposition nozzle mounted on the Z-axis of a DED dedicated CNC machine. This allows continuous 5 axis of freedom to build/repair components layer by layer without the need for support structures. Utilizing traditional numerical controls and using ISO G-code gives our customers tools that their skilled workforce is already accustomed to.

DIRECTED ENERGY DEPOSITION DED (DMD, LMD) Developed in the 1970s (as Cladding) Industrialized in the 2000s Productionized in the 2020s BeAM’s DED process involves directing metallic powder into a laser beam. The powder converges at the focal point of the laser, creating a melt-pool which is laid down in a 5-axis configuration

One process isn’t neccessarily better than another. Each has capabilities it excels at with minimal overlap. RIGHT TOOL RIGHT JOB POWDER BED FUSION PBF (DMLS, EBM, SHS, SLM, SLS) Developed in 1980s Industrialized in the 2000s Productionized in 2010s
