The first domestic powder bed electron beam metal 3D printer QbeamLab was officially released in our hospital

On January 5, 2018, the first domestic open source electron beam metal 3D printer QbeamLab developed by Tianjin Qingyan Zhibeam Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Zhibeam Technology"), an incubation enterprise of Tianjin High-end equipment Research Institute of Tsinghua University (hereinafter referred to as "High-end Institute"), was officially released. The new product launch conference was held in the multi-function hall on the 4th floor of the high-end institute. He Yongyong, executive vice president of the high-end institute, Zhang Xiaoqing and Woodmin, vice presidents, Lin Feng, professor of Tsinghua University, director of the Institute of Additive Manufacturing Technology and Engineering of the high-end institute (hereinafter referred to as "Additive Manufacturing Institute") and chief scientist of ZhiShu Technology, Yu Lili, deputy director of Huaming High-tech Zone Administrative Committee, and Zuo Shiquan, deputy secretary of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of, as well as customer representatives, media and other insiders more than 100 people attended the conference.

At the press conference, LinFeng, He Yongyong, Yu Lili and Zuo ShiquanThey delivered speeches respectively, congratulating the advent of the electron beam metal 3D printer, and at the same time, the executive deputy director of the Institute of Additive Materials, and the general manager of Zhibeam Technology.Guo ChaoThe QbeamLab's research and development and product characteristics were introduced in detail to the guests.

The research and application of electron beam selective melting (EBSM) technology has relied on imported equipment and platforms for a long period of time, and domestic independent equipment is in a blank. After long-term research and development, our hospitalPowder bed electron beam metal 3D printerThe advent of the fill this gap. In 2004, the technical team led by Professor Lin Feng began to aim at EBSM technology, successfully developed the first experimental system EBSM_150 in China, and obtained the national invention patent. In 2015, on the platform of the high-end institute, more than ten years of technological achievements were successfully industrialized, Zhibeam Technology was established and the first round of financing of 10 million yuan was completed. After more than ten years of research and development and industrialization, Lin Feng team finally took the lead in the domestic launch.Open Source Electron Beam Metal 3D Printer QbeamLab.

3D Printed Products

　　QbeamLabIt has the characteristics of core software autonomy, key components autonomy, modular customization, open source process parameters, self-diagnosis and self-recovery, long-term stability and reliability. EBSM metal 3D printing uses electron beam as an energy source 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.

QbeamLab devices have been launched in 2017Get 4 orders, including China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation, 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 company in the first year of its launch, and successfully realized the export of domestic high-end metal 3D printers, breaking the long-term market pattern monopolized by foreign products. At the press conference, some orders, such as Shaanxi Hengtong Intelligent Machine Co., Ltd. and Hunan Yishu Intelligent Manufacturing Co., Ltd., signed contracts.

The two sides held a signing ceremony

After the press conference, the guests visited the exhibition hall of the high-end hospital and had a more comprehensive understanding of the relevant technology and industrialization process of our hospital. Zhibeam Technology, as an incubator of high-end institutes, realized in 2017Order amount of 10 million yuanIt is an important milestone in the industrialization process of our hospital. In 2018, the high-end institute will continue to build a high-end equipment industry cluster, actively promote the industrialization process of the transformation of scientific and technological innovation into scientific and technological products, promote the wider application of innovative technology in the field of high-end equipment manufacturing, and promote the development of related industries. Tsinghua Science and Technology will better serve and give back to the society.
