The milestone printer – an AMCM M 4K from the AMCM division of EOS – is a large-format, highly productive four-laser system installed at Florida-Sintavia, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of metal additives, focuses on the production of advanced propulsion systems for the aerospace, defense and space industries. Unique in the AMCM M 4K is its ability to 3D print applications up to one (1) meter high – an achievement that was unthinkable in additive manufacturing (AM) just a few years ago.
“Constant innovation, consistency between machines and production reliability on an industrial scale are the reasons why the aerospace manufacturers of tomorrow rely on EOS,” said Brian Neff, CEO of Sintavia. “During this AMCM M4K, the 1,000th machine in North America for EOS it is also the 17th EOS machine for Sintavia. Your machines form the foundation of our company’s manufacturing technology and we are delighted to be part of this milestone in the history of EOS. “
The delivery of the 1,000th machine from EOS in North America comes at a time when additive manufacturing (AM) is experiencing incredible market growth. A report by Lux Research for 2021 predicts that the AM market will reach $ 51 billion until 2030, from $ 12 billion in 2020.
“This success is an important milestone in the history of EOS and proof of the increasing acceptance of additive manufacturing in North America, “said Andrew Snow, Senior Vice President of EOS North America and one of the longest tenured employees. “As AM spreads, we remain the leading innovator in hardware, materials, services, and education to fuel the successful adoption and advancement of AM as a mainstream manufacturing process.”
EOS was founded in April 1989 from dr. Hans Langer in Graefelfing, Germany, a small community south of Munich. In 1990, global brands such as BMW used the STEREOS 400 stereolithography system from EOS, and within five years the company presented its first powder-bed-based laser sintering system for the production of plastic prototypes. In the years that followed, the company continued to develop and produce new, increasingly innovative industrial 3D printers, while expanding worldwide and establishing a presence in Italy, that United Kingdom and Finland. The company established its North American headquarters in New Michigan, in 2001. Today EOS North America also has its technical center in Pflugerville, Texas, and its materials technology and production center at Advanced Laser Materials (ALM) in Temple, Texas.
Since its inception, EOS has continuously innovated, collaborated and worked to improve AM’s capabilities, resulting in its current, resilient ecosystem of products and services. From hardware, software and materials development and production to its Additive Minds team of applied engineers, EOS ‘experience and end-to-end offering of products, services and training are geared towards helping businesses every step of the way Support your AM journey – from start to finish.
“When customers buy from EOS, they install sophisticated technology that leverages more than three decades of experience and extensive support for all of their AM needs,” added Snow. “Although our industry looks very different than it was over 30 years ago, one thing has stayed the same: EOS continues to be the industry leader and is driving industrial 3D printing in new, groundbreaking directions.”
