BeamShape: Shaping Electrons

Vision

BeamShape wants to print what others cannot. And it wants to do it from Brno. The goal is not just to build a printer – it is to establish a European technology chain for manufacturing critical components that today are produced almost exclusively in Asia or the United States.

Gamechanger

BeamShape is developing its own metal 3D printer based on an electron beam – a technology that can melt even the most demanding materials: tungsten for nuclear fusion reactor interiors, or refractory Inconel for combat drone engines. The core of the machine is a proprietary electron optics system that, in certain segments, pushes beyond the limits of current devices. The same underlying technology also allows the team to take on complex electron microscopy contracts.

Who is it for?

BeamShape's customers are industrial companies and research institutions working with advanced materials under extreme heat or performance conditions – energy, defence, aerospace. The primary focus is the European market, with global ambitions to follow.

What has worked so far?

BeamShape has a working prototype with its own electron technology and is currently building a larger, industrial-scale machine. The team draws on Brno's deep tradition of electron expertise and brings it into a field where local industry has so far been absent.
