Wayland Additive has announced a major step forward in its mission to make its NeuBeam Electron Beam Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-EB) process more accessible and production-ready — the integration of its Calibur3 system into
Autodesk Fusion’s machine library. This collaboration brings a powerful mainstream software solution to NeuBeam users, streamlining the entire design-to-production workflow for additive manufacturing.
The partnership enables full compatibility between Autodesk Fusion’s CAD/CAM environment and Wayland’s Calibur3 metal AM machine, allowing users to perform design modifications, build setup, support generation and slicing—all tailored specifically for Wayland’s process. This end-to-end digital thread significantly simplifies the process chain for manufacturers using the company’s disruptive AM technology.
Crucially, the Wayland machine profile is available within Autodesk Fusion on both Mac and Windows platforms, meaning engineers can now design, nest and generate supports for Calibur3 builds directly from MacOS. While machine operation still requires a PC at the point of production, this dramatically broadens access to the Calibur3 workflow and opens the door to a much larger user community.
Significant momentDarrin Dickinson, head of business development (EMEA) at Wayland Additive, said “Autodesk is a name that defines digital manufacturing, and to have our Calibur3 system integrated into Fusion’s machine library is a significant moment, not just for Wayland, but for the entire electron beam AM sector. For too long, users of advanced PBF-EB systems have been limited by fragmented software ecosystems. That has changed. With this integration, our customers now have a seamless, modern interface to prepare, optimise and execute builds on Calibur3, making it easier than ever to harness the power of NeuBeam.”
He added “We have worked with the Autodesk team for years, collaborating behind the scenes to ensure a robust and valuable integration. This is not a superficial plugin, this is a deep technical partnership that’s delivering real value to users. Whether you are 3-D printing complex aerospace components or medical-grade parts, the combination of Calibur3’s performance and Fusion’s intuitive software makes high-end AM more productive, reliable and scalable.”
By integrating NeuBeam into Autodesk Fusion — a widely adopted and affordable platform — Wayland and Autodesk are reducing barriers to adoption for advanced metal AM and opening the door to broader industrial applications. The collaboration gives engineers and manufacturers a streamlined, intuitive workflow that combines cutting-edge hardware with powerful design and production tools.
Wayland invites manufacturers to explore this new capability and experience first-hand how the Autodesk Fusion and Calibur3 combination is redefining the possibilities for Electron Beam Additive Manufacturing.
