We are able to respond quickly to customer demands with solutions such as the Arcam PRS-30, by relying both on extensive collective experience with powder manufacturing and handling, and expertise in industrial automation and EHS across GE Additive,” stated Karl Lindblom, general manager, Arcam EBM.
The Arcam PRS 30 will be manufactured at the GE Additive Arcam EBM facility in Gothenburg, Sweden and is reported to be available for order now, with first deliveries expected in Q2 2020.
