Exciting News: JEOL's first EBM Machine in Europe to be placed at TUM!


We are delighted to announce a significant expansion of our research infrastructure at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). This spring, we eagerly anticipate the arrival of the first Electron Beam Melting (EBM) machine by JEOL, directly from Tokyo, Japan. This marks a milestone as the inaugural JEOL AM-E-Beam System in Europe.

The collaboration between TUM and JEOL Japan opens up new possibilities for innovative research in various key areas, and the EBM machine exhibits great potential. Our research collaboration will cover various domains, including:

Process-Structure-Property Relationship: A thorough exploration of the intricate connections between the manufacturing process, material structure, and resulting properties.

Feasibility Studies: Conducting comprehensive studies to assess the feasibility and practicality of applying EBM technology to various applications.

Technology Assessment: Evaluating and advancing the capabilities of EBM technology to contribute to the continuous evolution of additive manufacturing methodologies.

Prof. Dr. Peter Mayr, leading this exciting project, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, "The honor of having the first JEOL AM-E-Beam System in Europe at TUM empowers us to conduct groundbreaking research for innovative applications in high-tech industries such as aerospace and medicine."

Join us on this exciting journey of discovery and extend a warm welcome to the JEOL EBM machine at TUM!
