People's Daily, Tianjin, January 10 (Tang Yujie) A few days ago, Tianjin Qingyan Zhibeam Technology Co., Ltd., an incubator of Tianjin High-end Equipment Research Institute of Tsinghua University, released its latest generation of open source electron beam metal 3D printer QbeamLab. The printer has six major characteristics: core software autonomy, key component autonomy, modularization and customization, open source of process parameters, self-diagnosis and self-recovery, and long-term stability and reliability.

Lin Feng, a professor at Tsinghua University and chief scientist of Zhibeam Technology, said that electron beam selective melting (EBSM) metal 3D printing uses electron beams as energy sources to manufacture solid parts by melting metal powder layer by layer in a high vacuum environment. Due to the high power of the electron beam and the high energy absorption rate of the material to the electron beam, EBSM technology has the characteristics of high density, low oxygen content, low thermal stress, not easy to deform and crack, low price of powder consumables, and high printing efficiency. It has unique advantages and application value in 3D printing of metal materials, especially refractory metal materials, and is widely used in orthopedic medicine, aerospace and other fields.

"For a long period of time, most of the research and application of EBSM technology is based on metal equipment and platforms, and domestic independent equipment is in a blank." Guo Chao, deputy director of the Institute of Additive Manufacturing Technology and Engineering of Tianjin High-end Equipment Research Institute of Tsinghua University and general manager of Tianjin Qingyan Zhibeam Technology Co., Ltd., said, "Once the QbeamLab equipment was launched, it received four orders, including China Shipbuilding Heavy Industry Group, Tianjin Vocational University and other well-known enterprises and vocational colleges. It is worth mentioning that the product won an order from a well-known overseas enterprise, successfully realizing the export of domestic high-made high-end metal 3D printer."

As an incubator of Tianjin High-end equipment Research Institute of Tsinghua University, Zhibeam Technology has obtained 4 patents authorized by Tsinghua University, 2 invention patents authorized by the state, 7 utility model patents and 2 software copyrights. It has undertaken 2 national key R & D projects and 1 Tianjin science and technology support plan. It is the director unit of the national additive manufacturing industry alliance and has been selected into the innovation and entrepreneurship leading talent plan of Dongli District, Tianjin.
