Cambridge Vacuum Engineering

Today is World Energy Day – a day to recognise the importance of sustainable energy and the role it plays in shaping a cleaner, greener future for us all. From efficiency to innovation, the choices we make today will power the world of tomorrow. At CVE, we’re committed to extending the use of local vacuum electron beam welding technologies that can deliver the manufacturing power required to deliver smarter energy use systems and a more sustainable future. Here’s to driving positive change - together. As well as being used in the nuclear sector, our advanced welding technologies can be used in other renewable energy applications.

At CVE we’re proud to be a part of groundbreaking projects pushing welding past its traditional limits in the nuclear sector – making research a reality. - In collaboration with Sheffield Forgemasters, our Ebflow welding technology was tested on vessels with 200 mm thick walls, reducing weld times from months to under 24 hours, without sacrificing quality. - Through the EBManPower project, CVE, TWI, U-Battery and Cammell Laird validated Ebflow systems in large-scale fabrication plants for nuclear and other heavy manufacturing sectors - More recently we worked with the team at AMRC to support the construction of Kairos Power’s ETU 3.0 reactor vessel, enabling high-integrity welds at scale and accelerating SMR deployment.

This #NuclearScienceWeek, we’re celebrating innovation in nuclear technology. We’re proud to be part of this amazing industry - pushing the frontiers of welding for nuclear power systems. Our Ebflow local vacuum electron beam welding technology is proven to accelerate the fabrication of pressure vessels and other structural components required to generate nuclear energy - with precision, speed, and integrity. How our technology helps: Thick-wall welds in nuclear components demand ultra-high quality and repeatability. Ebflow enables single-pass joins of complex geometry while minimising distortion. By reducing production time and costs, we can enable faster deployment of advanced nuclear technologies that will contribute to a low-carbon, secure energy future. This week, we honour the scientists, engineers, and innovators building the backbone of tomorrow’s clean energy. If you’re working in nuclear design, fabrication or innovation - let’s connect and explore what next-gen welding can enable.

Congratulations to Cambridge Vacuum Engineering (CVE) team member, Fabiana Silveira, who was recently named Learner of the Year Winner at the IoSCM International (Institute of Supply Chain Management) annual awards. Fabiana’s journey at CVE is a brilliant example of what makes us a Great Place To Work (GPTW). Starting as a Receptionist, Fabiana progressed to Purchasing Officer, and now thrives as a Buyer in our Purchasing department. We’re proud to support her professional development by funding her Purchasing course with the IoSCM, empowering her to continue growing both personally and professionally. Well done Fabiana!

700 years of history. 700 tonnes of stone. One remarkable engineering challenge 👷♀️ 🏗️ We’re inspired by the incredible work of Arup, Keltbray, Multiplex and the City of London Corporation whose teams have worked tirelessly to safeguard a Grade I listed church tower while creating a new public realm in the heart of the City of London. As specialists in laser in vacuum and electron beam welding, we know that engineering is not always just about building the future - it can also be about protecting the past. This project is a perfect reminder of how innovation, precision, and collaboration can preserve heritage while enabling progress. Congratulations to everyone involved in this feat of engineering excellence. https://lnkd.in/eN7r_PEm

It’s a busy week on the events front for Cambridge Vacuum Engineering – with the team on the ground, from tomorrow, at two major industry events in the United States. - SEMICON West (SEMI Americas) in Phoenix, Arizona – the premier microelectronics exhibition bringing together the global semiconductor supply chain. Visit Booth 7024 on the lower level of the Phoenix Convention Centre. - Westec (Manufacturing Technology Series) in Anaheim, California – showcasing the latest in advanced manufacturing technologies. Come and find us at Booth 1330. Both events highlight the innovation, collaboration, and investments that continue to shape the future of manufacturing and microelectronics. We look forward to being part of the conversation with anyone that wants to discuss the role that laser in vacuum and electron beam welding can play. Contact the team for more information: Paul Haselgrove, Anthony Slater, Chris Coaster

Increased demand for energy and the need for system transformation are reshaping the global energy landscape and putting new pressures on supply chains. Collaboration remains essential and was plain to see at an event hosted, last week, by EPRI, AMMT (Advanced Materials & Manufacturing Technologies), The Clean Energy Supplier Alliance and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Washington State. CVE was proud to attend alongside industry leaders, policymakers and innovators. Chris Punshon presented on the benefits of local vacuum electron beam welding and joined a panel with peers from EPRI, TWI, Sheffield Forgemasters and the AMRC. At CVE, we are committed to using our welding know-how to strengthen supply chains and enable clean, reliable, efficient energy generation for many years to come - and this was a great event for exchanging ideas and information.
