“Top Consultant 2020” | EOS consulting unit Additive Minds receives another award
For the third time, leading technology provider and consultant for industrial 3D printing ranks among Germany’s best SMB consultants. Krailling, June 19, 2020 – The Additive Minds consulting unit of EOS, the world’s leading technology provider for industrial 3D printing of metals and polymers, has been named ‘TOP CONSULTANT’ for the third time after 2017 and 2019. For eleven years
Simply production: EOS M 290 – The benchmark for industrial Metal 3D printing
Over the past 19 years since the introduction of its metal technology, EOS has been building up a champion in powder-based, industrial 3D printing that combines the pioneering spirit of the early years with its meanwhile longstanding AM expertise. In 2001, with the launch of the EOSINT M 250, EOS introduced its DMLS metal technology which soon became a seal
EOS Digital Foam – Enabling Product Lifecycle Innovations
3D printed lattice structures can be made to have foam-like characteristics. These structures are branded “Digital Foam” by EOS. They represent a new opportunity to engineer better, safer, more customized and higher-performance products in a variety of industries. However, designing 3D printed foams is challenging. There are myriad variables controlling the performance and function of a 3D printed lattice structure,
Rapid 3D Appointed as the Dymansion Reseller Partner for Sub-Saharan Africa
We are an EOS partner in South Africa as well and we believe that in order to grow the additive manufacturing industry, it’s very important to have a finishing workflow.
And in order to do that properly, you need to have an automated finishing workflow and, I think Dymansion meets all of those requirements to move into production. It’s very important to be able to give the customer an end-use product, that is coloured and professionally finished. And you can’t do that without some sort of printed product workflow. And again the Dymansion workflow — Dymansion Powershot C, Dymansion Powershot S, Dymansion DM60, ticks all of those boxes and does their job very well in terms of being able to provide a complete solution for a customer that wants to go into production. It opens up all sorts of opportunities for the customer and, therefore, for us as a Dymansion reseller partner.
LaserProFusion – the technology for tool free injection molding
EOS continues to drive the industrialization of additive manufacturing (AM) and will present its newest solutions at this year’s formnext. With LaserProFusion, EOS introduces a revolutionary technology for polymer additive manufacturing: nearly one million diode lasers melt the material, building up the part layer by layer. This build process is so productive that it can serve as an injection moulding
Volvo Group 3D Printing for Lighter Engines
A team of Volvo Group engineers from Renault Trucks in Lyon has succeeded in building and running an engine with some vital 3D-printed components. As a result they were able to reduce both the number of components in the engine and the weight by about 25 %. This could lead to greater payloads and lower fuel consumption if it should

How Saint-Gobain Increased Productivity with Markforged Technology
Discover how Saint-Gobain improved the overall workflow of production activities after putting their Markforged X7 to use. Here’s an all-too common scenario for manufacturers: A simple customer request for a design change escalates, resulting in hundreds of hours of labor and significant costs to change over a production line to meet the new demands. That was the situation at a
Winning races with 3D printing – EOS & Pankl Sucess Story
What do DMLS and motorsports have in common? High performance and high speed!!! EOS have been working together with Pankl Racing Systems in Austria. Their AM Competence Center is filled with EOS DMLS (Direct Metal Laser Sintering) machines – EOS M 290s, EOS M 400 and EOS M 400-4 – and was recently expanded to make room for the EOS
Reinventing a High-Performance CPU Cooler with Additive Manufacturing
A Disruptive Innovation of Thermal Management High heat loads limit the miniaturization of portable computers, power electronic devices and high-power LED lighting. Most ambitious technological solutions from the lab are not ready for mass production and deployment in consumer products. But industrial 3D printing, or so-called additive manufacturing, can bridge the gap for thermal management components and keep lossy electronics cool
