While Silicon Valley obsesses over desktop 3D printers, Sciaky has been quietly revolutionizing heavy industry from its Chicago headquarters since 1939. This isn't a garage startup—it's a 50-person machine shop that happens to control the world's most advanced electron beam welding technology.

"Sciaky isn't just printing metal—they're printing entire aerospace components that would be impossible to manufacture any other way."

• EBAM technology can print titanium components weighing over 1,000 pounds in a single build
• Their electron beam welding systems are used in nuclear reactors and spacecraft
• The company's 85-year history gives them unmatched metallurgical expertise

The team composition tells the story: a Director of Operations, a Plant Manager, a Purchasing Manager, and specialized engineers focused on electron beam welding and injection molding. This isn't a product team building features—it's a manufacturing team building billion-dollar infrastructure. The absence of a dedicated marketing head is telling: in their world, technical excellence markets itself.
