ECCN 2B910
NSRSATAdditive manufacturing equipment, designed to produce metal or metal alloy components, having all of the following , and specially designed components therefor.
What This ECCN Covers
ECCN 2B910 controls certain additive manufacturing (metal 3D printing) equipment designed to produce metal or metal-alloy components, meeting the criteria in the entry. As industrial metal additive manufacturing matures, this entry brings specified machines under National Security, Regional Stability, and Anti-Terrorism controls.
Who needs to check this?
Makers and exporters of metal additive-manufacturing systems (powder-bed fusion, directed energy deposition) and integrators serving aerospace and defense-adjacent markets.
Compliance tip
Verify whether your machine meets the specific characteristics in the entry — not all metal AM equipment is captured. The RS reason can add destination-specific restrictions; confirm the Country Chart columns and apply Part 744 end-use diligence for sensitive applications.
Items Covered
- a.Having at least one of the following consolidation sources:
- 1. "Laser";
- 2. Electron beam; or
- 3. Electric arc;
- b.Having a controlled process atmosphere of any of the following:
- 1. Inert gas; or
- 2. Vacuum (equal to or less than 100 Pa);
- c.Having any of the following 'in-process monitoring' equipment in a 'co-axial configuration' or 'paraxial configuration':
- 1. Imaging camera with a peak response in the wavelength range exceeding 380 nm but not exceeding 14,000 nm;
- 2. Pyrometer designed to measure temperatures greater than 1,273.15K (1,000 °C); or
- 3. Radiometer or spectrometer with a peak response in the wavelength range exceeding 380 nm but not exceeding 3,000 nm; and
- d.A closed loop control system designed to modify the consolidation source parameters, build path, or equipment settings during the build cycle in response to feedback from 'in-process monitoring' equipment specified in 2B910.c.
Control Reasons
Items controlled for national security reasons under multilateral export control regimes.
Items controlled for regional stability reasons.
Items controlled for anti-terrorism reasons. Most items on the CCL have AT controls.
