Huddersfield-based
Wayland Additive is demonstrating the growing industrial adoption of its NeuBeam electron beam powder bed fusion technology at
Formnext 2025, which is taking place 18-21 November in Frankfurt (Hall 12.0, Stand B139), alongside advances in material development for demanding applications.
The company’s Calibur3 system, which uses NeuBeam technology, is now proven in real-world environments across sectors including aerospace, energy, and defence. A key highlight will be its collaboration with the Royal Air Force (RAF), where a titanium component produced on a Calibur3 machine has been successfully qualified and flown on a Typhoon aircraft. Visitors to the stand will be able to explore the RAF case study and discover how NeuBeam enables military-grade performance and rapid, localised spare-part production.
Peter Hansford, chief revenue officer at Wayland Additive, said: “Our message at
Formnext this year is clear. NeuBeam is not a science experiment, it is industrially viable and delivering results. The installation of our technology at the RAF facility and the subsequent flight qualification of a critical titanium part are major milestones, not just for us, but for the broader AM industry.”
NeuBeam technology addresses limitations of traditional electron beam systems by using Active Charge Neutralisation (ACN) during the build process, eliminating wide-area sintering and enabling the processing of challenging metals. Visitors to
Formnext can view the RAF case study and learn how NeuBeam supports military-grade performance and rapid, localised spare-part production.
