The EOS M 300-4 (with transfer station M) expands the portfolio of EOS systems for direct metal laser sintering (DMLS). With a build volume of 300 by 300 by 400 mm, the machine’s modular design and scalable, flexible concept is designed for additive manufacturing in production environments. At the same time, the system offers full-field overlap with four scanners, enabling the lasers to reach all locations on the build platform. Compared with the EOS M 290 system, the EOS M 300-4, with its four 400 W lasers, increases productivity by a factor of 4 to 10 and results in considerably lower costs per part, says the company.
Markus Glasser, senior vice president region export at EOS, says: “The EOS M 300 series is currently the only 3D printing solution for digital manufacturing, and it especially meets the high demands of production environments. It offers industrial quality, as well as an integrated data, powder and parts flow, for easy integration into manufacturing plants. We are pleased that Materials Solutions has decided to intensively test our new system in a pilot phase, giving us important ideas for the further development of our manufacturing solutions."
Markus Seibold, VP additive manufacturing of the Siemens power and gas division, says: “Ever since we started using additive manufacturing in the Siemens gas turbine division nine years ago, we have relied on EOS technology. We expect the new system to deliver high reliability, increased productivity and integration in our digital production systems. Based on the four-laser system, we will further reduce our unit costs for additive manufacturing. This makes the business model attractive for even more applications. At Materials Solutions, we will use the system to continuously expand our additive manufacturing services for the aerospace and automotive industries, as well as other sectors."
