WAYLAND ADDITIVE SHOWCASES COMMERCIAL ADOPTION & MATERIAL DEVELOPMENT AT FORMNEXT 2025

Visitors to the Wayland booth (12.0 B139) will discover a technology that is not just about potential, but proven in real-world industrial environments. Wayland’s NeuBeam® technology, at the heart of its Calibur3 system, is delivering powerful commercial results and redefining what’s possible in eBeam powder bed fusion (PBF) for high-value sectors such as aerospace, energy, and defence.

(Huddersfield, UK, November 4th, 2025) Wayland Additive, a leader in eBeam metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies, is excited to announce its return to Formnext, the world's premier AM exhibition, taking place 18-21 November 2025 in Frankfurt, Germany.


Visitors to the Wayland booth (12.0 B139) will discover a technology that is not just about potential, but proven in real-world industrial environments. Wayland's NeuBeam® technology, at the heart of its Calibur3 system, is delivering powerful commercial results and redefining what's possible in eBeam powder bed fusion (PBF) for high-value sectors such as aerospace, energy, and defence.

A highlight of this year's exhibit will be detailed insight into Wayland's ground-breaking collaboration with the RAF. In 2022, the RAF installed a Calibur3 system. In a landmark development, a titanium component (Ti64) produced on that Calibur3 system is now flying on a Typhoon aircraft, validating the technology in one of the world's most demanding operational environments. Visitors to the booth will be able to explore the RAF case study and discover how NeuBeam® enables military-grade performance and rapid, localised spare part production.

"Our message at Formnext this year is clear. NeuBeam® is not a science experiment, it's industrially viable and delivering results," said Peter Hansford, Chief Revenue Officer at Wayland Additive. "The installation of our technology at the RAF facility and the subsequent flight qualification of a critical titanium part are major milestones, not just for us, but for the broader AM industry. It proves that NeuBeam® is more than disruptive theory. It's trusted to perform where failure is not an option."

Hansford also noted the system's appeal to industries working with difficult materials. "What sets NeuBeam® apart is its ability to handle challenging metals without the constraints seen in traditional e-beam systems. Our unique Active Charge Neutralisation (ACN) during the build process, eliminates the need for wide-area sintering. This opens the door to a broader material palette, greater design freedom, and reduced post-processing, all essential for industries facing tight tolerance and performance requirements."

During the event, Wayland's Head of New Technologies & Founding Member, will give a presentation that demonstrates how the power of NeuBeam is being unleashed.

To further underscore its commitment to material development, Wayland will unveil material datasheets for Inconel 718 at the show, showcasing ongoing R&D into one of the most sought-after alloys in aerospace and energy applications.

Visitors can explore how the NeuBeam® process supports outstanding part integrity and large, complex geometry resolution. The booth will have a Calibur3 machine in situ as well as an array of parts built in a range of materials.

Attendees of Formnext 2025 are encouraged to visit the Wayland booth to discover why NeuBeam® represents a new era in metal AM.
