EOS, a technology supplier in the field of industrial 3D printing for metals and polymers, has delivered and installed its 1,000th machine in the North American market.
The milestone printer — an AMCM M 4K from EOS’ AMCM business unit — is a large-scale, four-laser, high productivity system. It was installed at Florida-based Sintavia, one of the world’s largest metal additive manufacturers focused on the production of advanced propulsion systems for the aerospace, defense and space industries.
Unique to the AMCM M 4K is its ability to 3D print applications up to 1 m high – a feat the company says was unimaginable in additive manufacturing (AM) only a few short years ago.
“Constant innovation, consistency between machines and industrial-scale production dependability are why aerospace manufacturers of tomorrow rely on EOS,“ says Brian Neff, Sintavia CEO. “While this AMCM M4K represents the 1,000th machine in North America for EOS, it also represents the 17th EOS machine for Sintavia. Their machines form the foundation of our company’s manufacturing technology, and we are thrilled to be part of this milestone achievement in EOS’ history.“
The delivery of EOS’ 1,000th machine in North America comes at a time when AM is experiencing incredible market growth. A 2021 report from Lux Research anticipates that the AM market will reach $51 billion by 2030, up from $12 billion in 2020.
“This achievement is a significant milestone in the history of EOS and a testament to the accelerating adoption of additive manufacturing in North America,“ says Andrew Snow, senior vice president of EOS North America.
Since its founding in 1989, EOS says it has continually innovated, collaborated and worked to advance the capabilities of AM leading to its current 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 offerings of products, services and training are designed to support organizations at each step of their AM journey – from start to part.
