  The ARCAM EBM Spectra H is an advanced electron beam melting (EBM) 3D printer developed by GE Additive, specifically designed for high-temperature materials such as titanium aluminides and Alloy 718 which are known to be crack-prone (OpenAI 2024). The Spectra H is part of the ARCAM EBM series, which is known for its innovative EBM technology which offers freedom in design, excellent material properties and stacking capabilities. The latest EBM printer represents a significant advancement in additive manufacturing compared to its predecessors. With dimensions of 1328 x 2344 x 2858mm (depth, width, height) and a build volume of 250 x 430mm (depth, height), it boasts considerable capabilities. Operating within a typical temperature range of 600 to 1100 degrees Celsius and equipped with a maximum beam power of 6kW, it excels in producing complex, high-strength metal parts with precise tolerances. Industries such as aerospace, medical, and automotive leverage its capabilities to fabri...

  The ARCAM EBM Spectra H is an advanced electron beam melting (EBM) 3D printer developed by GE Additive, specifically designed for high-temperature materials such as titanium aluminides and Alloy 718 which are known to be crack-prone (OpenAI 2024). The Spectra H is part of the ARCAM EBM series, which is known for its innovative EBM technology which offers freedom in design, excellent material properties and stacking capabilities. The machine is the newest EBM printer that does additive manufacturing better than past models. Its size is 1328 x 2344 x 2858mm (D,W,H) and its build volume is 250 x 430mm (D,H). The typical process temperature range is 600 to 1100 degrees Celsius, and the max beam power of 6kW. It is commonly used in the aerospace, medical and automotive industries where complex high-strength metal parts with intricate and tight tolerances are essential (Griffiths 2018). The machine recovers unused powder during part cleaning, the excess powder is recovered and pas...
