Agreement between Sciaky and EVOBEAM offers manufacturers a wide range of EB welding options to meet nearly any requirement, from rapid production of small parts to building high-value, large-scale components

CHICAGO, May 22, 2013 — (PRNewswire) —   Sciaky, Inc., a subsidiary of Phillips Service Industries (PSI) and leading provider of additive manufacturing solutions, announced today that it has entered into a business partnership with EVOBEAM GmbH of Mainz, Germany to further expand its electron beam (EB) welding product portfolio.

Sciaky specializes in large vacuum chamber EB welding systems with state-of-the-art internal moving guns. These systems utilize low voltage and high power, and are ideally suited for large-scale parts. EVOBEAM, on the other hand, specializes in high throughput, small vacuum chamber EB welding systems with external guns. These systems utilize low voltage and low power, and are ideally suited for rapid production of small-scale parts. Under terms of the agreement, Sciaky and EVOBEAM will co-market and co-sell each other's EB welding technology, providing an extensive range of EB welding solutions for its customers around the world. The agreement includes Sciaky's groundbreaking Additive Manufacturing process known as Electron Beam Direct Manufacturing (EBDM), which remains the only large-scale, fully programmable means of achieving near-net shape parts.

"Sciaky is very excited about the partnership with EVOBEAM," said Mike Riesen, General Manager of Sciaky, Inc. "By combining forces, Sciaky and EVOBEAM offer a wide range of proven, cost-effective EB welding and EB Additive Manufacturing solutions that can't be found anywhere else."
