EOS y el Rapid ManufacturingEOS and Rapid Manufacturing
In EOS (represented in Spain by RMS - Rapid Manufacturing Systems) already everything revolves around the "e-manufacturing", the flexible and cost-effective production directly from electronic data. More and more real applications in which the sintered by laser is not used only for prototypes or molds, but also as a manufacturing technology can be found. In this sense, EOS has launched a programme to disseminate the sintered by laser as a method of production of final pieces. The fair saw real parts. For example, a boot of football in which the sole with their cubes is tailored to the player, after analysis of the geometry of his foot and his way of stepping on.
He attended the fair with numerous innovations and examples. Among other things, he participated in the special exhibition for the medical sector Euromold hosted in this Edition, demonstrating the benefits of the sintered by laser in this sector. For the DMLS (direct metal laser sintering) EOS now offers more materials, emphasizing its alloy of cobalt and chromium, highly resistant to temperature and corrosion. It is especially handy in the medical sector, both in equipment and implants, but it has also proved their worth in other sectors.

It has also advanced in the sinter of plastic materials. PrimePart makes it possible to use 40 percent less powder in the production of parts. This polyamide 12 is now available commercially. CarbonMide, a powder of polyamide reinforced with carbon fiber is also available.
He exhibited the machine Eosint M270 and the Eosint P385, in which featured material that was used. In the 270 a cobalt-chromium alloy showed profits in the restoration of teeth.
The innovative capacity of EOS is promoting the use of the sintered by laser in series production. A novelty is also the new system Eosint P 385. Together with the new versions of the software of PSW V3 2 processes, the system offers an increase in productivity and the quality of the piece, as well as a more user-friendly. Improved resolution, especially in very small pieces.
