The Key to Series Production: EOS Introduces a New System Generation for Metal Additive Manufacturing - EOS M 400

SHANGHAI, May 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

Modular design: For larger components, increased productivity and automation, and improved quality assurance 

EOS, market and technology leader for design-driven, integrated e-Manufacturing solutions for Additive Manufacturing (AM) just recently introduced the new EOS M 400 system. A new system generation for the already established metal technology, this modular, extendable platform gears additive manufacturing up for application in industrial production environments. A number of factors contribute to this: The system enables the manufacture of larger components, productivity of this technology can move into new dimensions, and the level of automation is increased still further. In addition, the EOS M 400 delivers improved quality assurance and is made easier to use, thereby answering key requirements of our series production customers. Commercialization of the basic system model begins in spring, with the global distribution planned from summer 2014.

"EOS is pursuing a platform-based strategy for the metal technology and is able to support its customers from the research and development phase, through to the series production. The EOS M 400 represents the key to the industrial series utilization of Additive Manufacturing. If the EOSINT M 270 and EOSINT M 280 models have set the technical benchmarks, then the EOS M 400 takes these a step further. The new system supports users not only in the context of its qualification for production, but also in actual manufacturing applications. "We won't be drawing the line at a single solution. We will be expanding the platform with successive performance modules," says Jack Wu, Regional Manager at EOS in China.
