Sciaky Shipping Three "Tunnel Sized" EB Welding Systems
Sciaky Inc. announces shipment of the first of three Large EBW Machines to Overseas Customers. CHICAGO, May 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Sciaky, Inc. of Chicago has announced shipment of a VX-300 Electron Beam Welding machine in May 2025. This machine will be followed by two additional machines of similar layout to overseas customers. These machines will each feature a chamber size of 300″ x 110″ x 110″, and a work envelope of 250″ x 42″ x 60″. These machines will ship with standard 5-axis CNC controls and EB welding capabilities, with the accommodations for additional CNC Axes and EBAM capability in the future. The machines will be used primarily in the Aerospace and Semiconductor industries, but will have the flexibility to be useful for any future business these customers acquire. Sciaky has been newsworthy for the past decade with their developments in Electron Beam Additive Manufacturing, but these machine contracts highlight their world leadership in Electron Beam Welding machines. Known for their medium and large-chamber moving gun EBW machines, Sciaky has installations in US-based and international installations in the Aerospace, Power Generation, Automotive, and Oil/Gas Exploration fields. These machines will feature multi-axis heavy-duty machines with up to 42kW of beam power, EBW users have been using Sciaky Electron Beam technology since the early 1960's for the most demanding and precise metal joining tasks. According to Scott Phillips, CEO of Sciaky's parent company Phillips Service Industries, Inc.: 'We find that too many in the industry do not realize that our EBAM platform is a truly dual-use technology, where every EBAM machine retains it's full functionality as a CNC Electron Beam Welder. In the past, this has helped many of our machine buyers in their justification to purchase a machine. We feel this makes our product somewhat unique in the Welding and Additive Manufacturing worlds.' Historically, Sciaky will have multiple machines of both capabilities in process in process in our Chicago manufacturing facility. You can approach the engineering staff at Sciaky for application assistance for both EBAM and EBW projects that can range from equipment acquisition through prototypes, development or one of a kind production.

Sciaky, Inc. Contracted for Inconel 718 Power Generation Components
Sciaky Starts Production for 700+ lbs of Inconel 718 parts Using Electron Beam Additive Manufacturing Technology CHICAGO, March 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Sciaky, Inc., a subsidiary of Phillips Service Industries, Inc. (PSI) and leading supplier of industrial metal 3D printing solutions, announced today that it has received an order to produce Inconel 718 parts for a critical power generation project using its cutting-edge additive manufacturing technology. This order involves the deposition of 700+ pounds of Inconel 718, a high-performance nickel-chromium alloy commonly used in demanding environments requiring superior strength and corrosion resistance. With an impressive deposition rate of approximately 4 pounds per hour for this metal (Sciaky's rates for other metals are typically 2-3 times this), Sciaky continues to push the boundaries of additive manufacturing. This deposition rate is a testament to the company's investment in advanced technology, enabling faster production while maintaining the rigorous quality standards required for such materials. Compared to laser and arc additive Inconel 718 deposition methods, which often operate at lower rates, Sciaky's process allows for enhanced efficiency without sacrificing part integrity. 'Our additive manufacturing technology not only enhances production speed but also improves material properties through precise control of the deposition process,' said Scott Phillips, President at Sciaky. 'We are proud to be able to deliver such a significant quantity of high-performance material, leveraging our expertise in additive technologies.' Inconel 718 is known for its applications in industries like aerospace, power generation, and oil and gas, where its ability to withstand extreme conditions is critical. Although the specific end-use and customer for this project cannot be disclosed, the successful completion of this order further solidifies Sciaky's reputation as a trusted partner for advanced material solutions. As the most widely scalable metal additive manufacturing solution in the industry, Sciaky's EBAM systems can produce parts ranging from 8 inches (203 mm) to 20 feet (> 6 meters) in length. EBAM is also the fastest deposition process in the metal additive manufacturing market, with gross deposition rates of up to 40 lbs. (18.14 kg) of metal per hour. EBAM brings quality and control together with IRISS ® – the Interlayer Real-time Imaging and Sensing System, which is the only real-time adaptive control system in the metal 3D printing market that can sense and digitally self-adjust metal deposition with precision and repeatability. This innovative closed-loop control is the primary reason that Sciaky's EBAM 3D printing process delivers consistent part geometry, mechanical properties, microstructure, and metal chemistry, from the first part to the last.
