Each company contributes expertise in materials, beam control, design, and key industrial sectors.
The Barnes Global Advisors has helped form the Electron Beam Consortium (EBC), a group focused on supporting the development and adoption of electron beam powder bed fusion technology. As part of the formation, its founding members signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to outline collaborative efforts across industries using this technology.
The founding members of EBC are:
- ALD Vacuum Technologies
- Freemelt
- JEOL
- Pro-Beam
- Wayland Additive
Each company brings expertise and capabilities to electron beam technology, including work in materials science, electron beam control, equipment design, and industrial applications in medical, oil and gas, aerospace, and defense. Together, they aim to create a collaborative platform to accelerate research, development, and the real-world application of electron beam technology.
The Barnes Global Advisors (TBGA), with industry experience in additive manufacturing qualification and certification, education, applications, and process economics, are uniquely positioned to guide this effort.
The founding members of the EBC will form the organizing committee and meet regularly to develop a prioritized action plan based on a shared goal of advancing development through coordinated efforts. Their focus on practical needs and industry relevance aims to support continued progress and explore potential applications across different sectors.
