Company Overview
Sciaky, Inc., based in Chicago, IL, USA, stands as a global leader in industrial metal 3D printing and electron beam (EB) welding solutions. As a Phillips Service Industries Company, Sciaky has dedicated over six decades to advancing its core technologies, distributing its state-of-the-art systems and services internationally to manufacturing plants and advanced research facilities. The company is actively preparing to support the needs of SME suppliers involved in the AM Forward program, highlighting its commitment to innovation and industry collaboration.
Products and Services
Sciaky offers two primary advanced manufacturing solutions: Electron Beam Additive Manufacturing (EBAM®) and Electron Beam Welding. EBAM® is presented as the fastest and most cost-effective metal deposition process in the 3D printing market. This technology significantly reduces the time and costs associated with traditional manufacturing methods like forging and casting, offering up to a tenfold faster deposition rate compared to other metal AM processes. EBAM® provides true scalability for part size and quality, applicable across the product lifecycle from rapid prototypes to production parts, and even repair and remanufacturing. Its patented Closed-Loop Control technology ensures consistent, replicable production parameters for geometry, material properties, and composition. The effectiveness of EBAM® is underscored by its use in critical applications, such as a part for Intuitive Machines' lunar landing.
Complementing its additive manufacturing capabilities, Sciaky's EB Welding technology delivers exceptional weld quality characterized by a high depth-to-width ratio, maximum penetration, and minimal distortion. With over sixty years at the forefront of EB welding advancements, Sciaky boasts innovative internal moving EB welding guns. This technology is suitable for joining common metals, exotic applications involving refractory alloys, and is particularly effective for dissimilar metals. Sciaky also operates an EB welding job shop, offering a comprehensive range of capabilities.
Key Differentiators
Sciaky differentiates itself through its leadership in both metal additive manufacturing and electron beam welding. The EBAM® process is highlighted for its unparalleled speed, cost-effectiveness, and scalability, alongside the precision offered by its Closed-Loop Control. In EB welding, Sciaky's long-standing expertise and state-of-the-art equipment ensure superior weld quality and versatility across various materials and applications. The company's global reach and comprehensive customer service and training further solidify its position as a trusted partner in advanced manufacturing.
