What Evobeam does

Evobeam GmbH is a German private limited company founded in May 2011 by Alexander Weil and Dr.-Ing. Matthias Wahl, headquartered in Nieder-Olm, Germany. The company designs and manufactures vacuum-based beam processing systems and provides associated job-shop services. Its core technology combines electron beam (EB) and laser-in-vacuum (LaVa) processes executed inside high-vacuum chambers, enabling high-precision welding, drilling, cladding, and surface treatment of reactive and refractory metals (titanium, tungsten, TiAl, super-alloys) that cannot be processed in conventional inert-gas environments. The product portfolio spans two configurable universal systems (Evobeam CUBE and Evobeam CELL), large-chamber EB welding systems (Sciaky EBW, distributed in partnership with Sciaky Inc.), and four additive manufacturing platforms — SLaVAM (laser powder bed in vacuum, deposition rates 50–150 cm³/h), WiLaVAM (wire-feed laser in vacuum, 200–500 cm³/h), Sciaky EBAM (wire-feed electron beam, 500–1,500 cm³/h, up to 42 kW @ 60 kV), and DAM (diffusion bonding for metal-ceramic sandwich structures up to 1400°C). Workpiece sizes range from 10 mm to 2,000 mm and weights from a few grams to 4 tons, with electron beam power up to 15 kW for welding applications.
