Q10plus
Ideal for high-volume production
The Q10plus utilizes a high-temperature vacuum environment that allows for the processing of reactive materials and reduces residual stresses and porosity. Electron Beam Powder Bed Fusion’s unique stacking capability maximizes the capacity of the build chamber and improves production efficiency. The machine includes xQam™ technology for high-precision autocalibration, a powerful software platform and electronics for efficient and accurate beam control. The Q10plus also offers LayerQam™, our camera-based monitoring system for inline part quality verification.
Additional Features
Achieving Qualification
Scaling additive production requires qualification. In regulated industries, such as orthopedics and aerospace, rigor is even more important. Our additive experts have experience qualifying hardware in highly regulated markets and can help you reduce the learning curve so you can get your product to market faster. In the end, you will qualify the machine, the material, and the process. We follow industry-wide processes to establish robust and repeatable production outcomes.
Installation Qualification (IQ)
The purpose of the IQ protocol is to provide documented evidence that the machine is installed according to documented and pre-approved specifications.
Operational Qualification (OQ)
The purpose of OQ is to demonstrate that a system operates according to written pre-approved specifications throughout a specified operating range.
Performance Qualification (PQ)
The purpose of PQ is to demonstrate that the additive process, under anticipated manufacturing conditions, consistently produces product(s) that meet all engineering requirements.
