About QBEAM

QBEAM, also known as Tianjin Qingyan Zhishu Technology Co., Ltd., is a company specializing in additive manufacturing solutions using its proprietary Electron Beam Selective Melting (EBSM®) technology. Founded in September 2015, the company emerged from the Tianjin Research Institute for Advanced Equipment at Tsinghua University, with its core team originating from the university's Department of Mechanical Engineering's rapid prototyping center. This group has over two decades of research experience in the field, leading to the industrialization of the EBSM® technology in China.

The company's business model revolves around providing comprehensive metal additive manufacturing solutions, which include the development of high-tech metal materials, rapid metal parts printing services, and the manufacturing of EBSM® equipment. QBEAM serves high-end industries such as aerospace, medical, energy, marine, and automotive. Its technology is particularly noted for its efficiency and cost-effectiveness in the mass production of complex metal components. The EBSM® process uses a high-energy electron beam in a vacuum to melt metal powder layer by layer, based on a CAD model. This method is advantageous for its high printing efficiency, low thermal stress, and suitability for refractory and hard-to-machine metals like titanium alloys, superalloys, and copper alloys.

QBEAM has developed a range of products to meet different market needs. The product line includes the QbeamLab for R&D, the QBeamMed200 for mass production of medical implants, and the large-format QBeamAero350 for aerospace components. The company holds full independent intellectual property rights for its EBSM® technology and has achieved self-sufficiency in core components like the electron-optical system. QBEAM has received multiple rounds of venture capital funding and holds certifications such as ISO9001.
