EOS Finland

EOS Finland was founded October 2000

• Origin• Development and metal powder sourcing group of Electrolux Rapid

Development• Development partner of EOS from 1994 on, the beginning of commercial

DMLS (Direct Metal Laser Sintering)• Joint development of materials and processes for EOS metal platforms

• As result of outsourcing activities of Electrolux the development and sourcing group was acquired by EOS

• Foundation of EOS Finland• Fully owned by EOS

Additive Manufacturing (AM) Opens Two Roads to Success

Enabling a completely new design approach

AM can enable design that in conventional manufacturing environments has not been possible beforeLeading to completely new solutions, e.g

Move from metal to plasticMaking a part lightweight, yet functional

AM can resolve constraints of the conventional design of an existing solution by e.g.

Reducing part complexityReducing costs normally caused by e.g. tooling needed after manufacturing

Resolving the constraints of conventional manufacturing

1 2

Example: Washing rotor (Hettich)

From 32 components to 2 laser-sintered parts + 1 steel ring

No tooling necessary

Functional integration, product customization, production on demand

Example: Load-bearing engine block (WITHIN Labs)

New design not possible with conventional methods

Integrated conformal cooling channels, lightweight design

Reduced cycle times, increased part quality, weight reduction
