The company’s Director, Dmytro Kovalchuk, demonstrated their first industrial metal 3D printer, xBeamGrand-1, 3D printed samples and introduced the prospects of the company’s innovations for the Ukrainian and European industries.

EU grants became an essential contribution to the development of the xBeam 3D Metal Printing technology – they helped us to take the first steps. We highly appreciate that the EC leadership is willing to personally see the actual results of European innovation support programs. I am sure that what they saw was both important and exciting.
Our xBeam technology is currently at the stage of commercialization and scaling, which requires more financing. We believe such visits confirm the EU’s intentions to continue supporting innovative Ukrainian businesses.

It is all the more pleasant that such distinguished guests found time to pay attention to such subjects during the war, when the visit to Ukraine manifests a certain courage. Ukrainians highly value such courage, no less than the aid that such politicians bring.

WE ARE 25!

NVO Chervona Hvilya celebrates the 25th anniversary!

This time we didn’t arrange loud corporate events – there is a war.
We will celebrate our anniversary together with Ukraine’s victory.

We have no doubts about victory – after all, during our 25 years, we have survived global crises, revolutions, and war. And we emerged more potent after each test.
It will be so again!

September 29th is the Birthday of NVO Chervona Hvilya
September 29, 2021

Since 1997, when the company was established, we have done a lot – we melted thousands of tons of titanium ingots, we implemented dozens of high-power gas-discharge electron-beam guns to industrial operations around the world, we have transformed the titanium industry with our EB melting furnaces and recycling solutions. Finally, we have developed a new advanced additive manufacturing technology – the xBeam 3D Metal Printing.

But our main achievement is the Team!
More than 20 highly skilled professionals (including 3 Ph.D.) of different generations (from 22 to 86 years old!), are united by common goals and values.

For such a team, nothing is impossible!
And our goals are exactly on the verge of the possible, yet sometimes beyond… (only temporarily)

Our next goal is simply to make a revolution in metal additive manufacturing with our xBeam 3D.
We have started already! Join us in our journey!

xBeam Integrated System xBeam-18/I was installed at TWI in Cambridge, UK
June 29, 2021

The xBeam system is mounted on a 3 x 3 x 4m vacuum chamber and can build metre scale components with a 1,000mm vertical axis on the novel electron gun (xGun). 7 different wire diameters from 1.0mm up to 3.2mm can be used for deposition. Thanks to the 18kW high voltage power supply and 20kV accelerating voltage, X-ray radiation is less of a concern than higher voltage systems. It also has two in-chamber video cameras in protective casings for adjustment of xGun positioning during processing.

Project was funded by the Open Architecture Additive Manufacturing (OAAM) project.

The OAAM programme plans to develop directed energy deposition (DED) additive manufacturing (AM) technologies that can be scaled up to accept multi-metre component sizes for the benefit of UK
aerospace. These new platforms will enable aerospace manufacturers and their supply chains to develop advanced AM manufacturing concepts.
