Arcam and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have signed a
cooperation agreement under which the parties will facilitate the introduction
of Arcam’s EBM technology to U.S. industry through a manufacturing
demonstration facility (MDF).
ORNL
purchased its first Arcam EBM system in 2009. Since that time ORNL and Arcam
have worked together to create opportunities for U.S .industry to adopt Arcam’s
EBM technology to meet emerging advanced manufacturing challenges. Under a
newly installed (Cooperative Research and Development Agreement) Arcam and ORNL
will deepen their collaboration to advance Arcam’s technology to bring even
greater advanced manufacturing benefit to U.S. industries. As part of this
agreement Arcam intends to locate an application development center at ORNL to
support U.S. industry application development.
