ElectronForge, a metal 3D printer from BeamShape, a spin-off of Brno University of Technology (BUT), made its global debut at the 67th International Engineering Fair (MSV) in Brno and won the MSV Gold Award. The machine uses an electron beam instead of a laser to melt highly reflective, high-melting-point metals such as copper, molybdenum, and tungsten in a vacuum environment—materials that are difficult to process with conventional laser printing. It employs EBM (electron beam melting) technology, centered on BeamShape's self-developed 2 kW, 60 kV acceleration voltage electron beam tube. The electron beam's heating of metal is unaffected by surface reflectivity, and the vacuum environment also prevents contamination from oxygen and impurities. Petr Mareš, founder and CEO, said Brno is a global hub for electron microscopy, and the team is bringing that technological heritage into metal 3D printing, aiming to move the technology from the lab to industrial mass production. The company was founded by Mareš and Hynek Štětina and works closely with the Institute of Physical Engineering at BUT's Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. ElectronForge is not yet officially on sale; the company has launched an early access partner program to recruit industrial and research partners to refine the process for specific applications. The machine's development was supported by the Czech Technology Agency's TREND and SIGMA programs. Value for powder buyers: ① The EBM route can process materials such as copper and tungsten that are difficult for lasers; if scaled, it will open new additive manufacturing demand for copper, tungsten, and molybdenum powders; ② A new EBM equipment supplier has emerged in Europe—watch its early access partners' material parameter validation progress; ③ Powder specification requirements for aerospace and energy applications are worth engaging with early.
