EOS is showcasing its newest high-productivity metal laser powder bed fusion printer, the EOS M 290-2 (400-W) at Rapid + TCT 2024, but, as with all things EOS, it’s not a siloed solution; there’s software, materials, and services in the mix as well.
All four components of EOS’ offerings for metal and polymers will be on display at the company’s huge booth, #2639.
If you’re not one to just marvel as machines and handle some printed parts, come with questions to be answered. You can sign up here for an appointment at the AM Expert Bar (like the Apple Genius Bar) to speak one-on-one about either Metal AM Training & Consulting, Metal AM Design & Application Engineering, Support-Free Metal 3D Printing , or Polymer Design & Application Engineering.
The AM Experts are from EOS’ consulting wing, Additive Minds, which recently opened a new facility in Michigan. The new 14,600-square-foot Additive Minds Academy Center is designed for upskilling industrial 3D printing engineers and operators through in-person and online courses. Yet EOS says the new educational hub is for both experienced AM users and those new to the technology.
Meet the EOS M 290-2 (400-W)
The new EOS M 290-2, launched June 5, has two 400-watt lasers and is offered alongside the full EOS M 290 Series, which includes the recently introduced 290 1kW, developed for organizations that typically leverage copper and copper alloys for applications like heat exchangers and inductors; and the 290, which has one 400-watt laser.
An early adopter of the EOS M 290-2, Nordic-based 3D printing service company AMEXCI says it attained a 76% reduction in cost-per-part for a tested application against the original EOS M 290 build with just one laser.
Based on the well-field-tested EOS M 290, originally launched in 2014, the -2 has the same build volume (250 x 250 x 325 mm), materials, and process parameter sets. Its dual lasers have full-field overlap.
EOS will also have its polymer selective laser sintering (SLS) 3D printers on hand, and if you’re lucky you may get a chance to play around with the Wilson Airless Gen1 basket ball, printed on an EOS polymer system.
Pursuing More Sustainable Energy With AM
Fabian Alefeld, senior manager of EOS’ Additive Minds Consulting and Academy is hosting a presentation at Rapid + TCT centered around clean energy enabled by AM technologies, Tuesday, June 25 at 11:30 a.m.
Titled “Carbon Emissions Transformed into Clean Energy with AM Technologies: A Presentation with EOS Additive Minds,” the presentation will discuss the current landscape of clean energy technology and how AM can propel manufacturing in a more sustainable future.
This session is part of the optional Conference program offered at an extra fee.
Head down the main aisle form the entrance, take a right and you can’t miss the giant EOS booth, conveniently located across from another major metal laser powder bed fusion 3D printer maker Nikon/SLM.
