EOS Quality Leadership: Holistic Approach for Consistent Product Quality in Metal-Based Series Production

EOS Quality Leadership: Holistic Approach for Consistent Product Quality in Metal-Based Series Production

GOTHENBURG, Sweden, January 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

    Quality assurance for system, material and process serves central customer
requirements

    As the global technology and quality leader for high-end Additive Manufacturing (AM)
solutions, one of the central concerns at EOS is to establish a holistic approach to
quality assurance in series production. The process, which was mainly used for Rapid
Prototyping in the early years, is increasingly making fully-fledged series production
possible in many areas.

    Dr. Tobias Abeln, Chief Technical Officer (CTO) adds: "Consistent and repeatable part
quality is essential for series production applications. With its quality assurance
concept, which is unique to the industry, EOS covers the three technological elements of
Additive Manufacturing which have a direct influence on the quality of an additively
manufactured component - namely system: reliably meeting manufacturing standards,
material: guaranteed consistent quality of every material batch and process: checked and
validated parameters. Thanks to the joint development and mutual adjustment of systems,
materials and processes, EOS ultimately establishes the conditions for best possible part
properties."

    Focus on technology development and quality assurance 

    EOS puts a high emphasis on technology development and quality assurance. At the
headquarters in Krailling alone, there is an area of around 2,300 msquared reserved for
the seventy Additive Manufacturing systems used for research and development, quality
assurance, application and training for both polymer and metal products. An additional
twenty systems are available in the international EOS technology centres in China,
Singapore and the US. At the EOS Oy plant in Finland, an additional fifteen systems are
being used for the development, qualification and quality assurance of metal materials.
