EOS has named Advanced Manufacturing Solutions (ACS) its new distribution partner of polymer and metal laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) industrial 3D printing technology. The Washington-based industrial automation company serves multiple industries, providing fabrication, automation, and both traditional and additive manufacturing (AM) solutions.
EOS provides solutions for the serial manufacturing of industrial 3D printed parts. It plans to leverage the ACS distribution partnership by investing additional resources in the Pacific Northwest territory, which is a rapidly growing market for AM technologies and a leading location for EOS system and materials sales. ACS will carry the full line of EOS polymer and metal 3D printers.
“Our organizational focus is to be on the frontier of new technology for the manufacturing and fabrication markets,” says Ron Rankin, ACS CEO and president. “We are continuously developing a business model that elevates opportunities for building long-term collaborative relationships with companies seeking to integrate advanced manufacturing and fabrication technologies into their companies. EOS fits this business model perfectly and we look forward to adding EOS technology to our portfolio of advanced manufacturing solutions.”
EOS says the acceptance and adoption of AM is continuing throughout all areas of manufacturing. “Key to this are partnerships with organizations, like ACS, who have deep, value-added relationships within their regional manufacturing communities and who have a rock solid understanding of customer manufacturing goals, and how to best apply industrial 3D printing,” says Andrew Snow, senior vice president at EOS North America. “EOS and ACS are positioned to uniquely address those manufacturing challenges that only AM can provide a solution for.”
ACS consults, curates and integrates advanced technology solutions for CNC manufacturing and fabrication businesses to offer the latest, state-of-the-art, automated, hybrid small- and large-format cutting solutions, polymer and metal 3D printing technologies, and AM solutions.
