Sciaky, Inc.

Sciaky, Inc. is an American industrial equipment manufacturer specializing in electron beam (EB) welding systems, electron beam additive manufacturing (EBAM) metal 3D printing systems, and advanced arc welding equipment. Established in 1939, the company is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, where its world headquarters occupies more than 140,000 square feet of clean and modern facilities. All welding services, design, manufacturing, hardware and software development, testing, and research and development are conducted at this location. Sciaky describes itself as the most trusted provider of advanced welding systems and job shop welding services in the fabrication market. Its product portfolio spans electron beam welders, EBAM metal additive manufacturing solutions, and advanced arc welders, making it one of the most versatile welding solutions suppliers in the world. The company began developing its groundbreaking Electron Beam Additive Manufacturing (EBAM) technology in 1996 to help manufacturers save significant time and money on the production of large, high-value metal parts such as titanium. Its electron beam welding systems and job shop services have been regarded as the gold standard in the EB fabrication market since the 1950s. Sciaky's EBAM process is positioned as the fastest metal deposition process in the 3D printing market and the most cost-effective metal 3D printing process available. Compared to other metal additive manufacturing processes, EBAM offers a deposition rate up to ten times faster and provides true scalability for part size and quality. The technology reduces the time and costs associated with traditional manufacturing methods such as forging and casting. For titanium 3D printing, the EBAM process can produce large-scale structures in a matter of days with virtually no material waste, whereas forgings and castings can take many months to complete. In addition to selling EBAM and EB welding systems, Sciaky operates a comprehensive welding job shop and additive manufacturing service. Its process development laboratory, occupying about 4,000 square feet within the service facility, is staffed with highly qualified personnel and the latest equipment to evaluate specialized welding applications and feasibility programs. The company has the capability to weld large assemblies up to 24 feet in length and 92 inches in diameter. Services include system design, weld joint design, metallurgical expertise, programming, and additional testing such as radiographic and ultrasonic inspection. Sciaky serves manufacturers in aerospace, defense, and other high-value metal fabrication sectors. The company has been a key supplier of resistance welding systems used to make warplanes for the U.S. military during World War II and became a major supplier of EB welding systems in the 1960s. More recently, Sciaky has been preparing to meet the needs of small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) suppliers participating in the AM Forward program, a U.S. initiative to strengthen domestic additive manufacturing supply chains. The company continues to be at the forefront of electron beam welding technology and a pioneer of metal additive manufacturing processes.

Sciaky, Inc. was founded in 1939. During the 1940s, the company became a key supplier of resistance welding systems used to make warplanes for the U.S. military during World War II. In the 1950s, Sciaky produced its first Electron Beam (EB) welding system in 1957. During the 1960s, Sciaky became a major supplier of EB welding systems. The company began developing its groundbreaking Electron Beam Additive Manufacturing (EBAM®) technology in 1996 to help manufacturers save significant time and money on the production of large, high-value metal parts like titanium. Since then, Sciaky has continued to innovate in both EB welding and metal additive manufacturing, positioning itself as a pioneer in the field. The company is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, where its world headquarters occupies more than 140,000 square feet. In recent years, Sciaky has been preparing to meet the needs of SME suppliers participating in the AM Forward program, a U.S. initiative to strengthen domestic additive manufacturing supply chains.
