electronic beam melting (ebm)\nuse the information below to answer the question.\nelectronic beam melting is a technology used for the powder bed fusion (pbf)\nprocess. it is a good process when a user needs to create a metal print that can\nwithstand very high temperatures. electronic beam melting (ebm) shoots a beam of\nelectrons to fuse metal powder together. like direct metal sintering, it is created\nlayer - by - layer. metal powder is laid down, but instead of a laser, it uses an electron\nbeam that will melt the metal. it is a faster process because it has higher energy from\nthe electron beam.\nthe process uses support structures to prevent warping as well. also, it is done in a\nvacuum and it can handle the strongest alloys in 3d printing. ebm is faster than direct\nmetal sintering and selective laser melting. however, the particle size is larger and\nthe layer thickness is bigger, so the detail may be less than the other two processes.\nduring the electronic beam melting (ebm) process, what is\nthe electron beam used for?\nto add a support structure to the print\nto fuse metal powder together\nto add a bronze additive to the powder\nto polish the print
