Featured products from Eos

EOS (www.eos.info), represented in Spain by Protoser (Tel. 93 790 28 31.) (www.protoser.com) is advanced in the field of the sintered. He introduced at the fair the concept of e-manufacturing, i.e., the rapid, flexible and cost-effective production of high quality products directly from electronic data. He showed this machine Eosint P 700 with IPCM (Integrated Process Chain Management), which incorporates and combines an automatic feeding system of dust, a station of unpacking and a device for recycling of dust. Eospace software, which makes it possible the positioned automatic of parts based on its surface to optimize the process it is for the preparation of the data. Thanks to a better control of the temperature, the Eosint P 700 provides superior surface qualities. Other innovations in this stand were the Prime Cast 100 material for smelting vacuum from sintered by laser models. It is a material based on polystyrene expressly designed for the sinter in Eosint P, allowing the rapid manufacturing of models for function by vacuum.

He also presented his DirectTool technology for inserts for small series. One of the most relevant news in the Eos booth was its co-operation with Trumpf (www.trumpf.com) for the exchange of licences, carried out in summer, and which has already begun to develop. Both are developing jointly a system of production through fusion laser for metal parts directly. It is a variant of the sintered by laser direct metal of Eos, in which a metal powder without binders or fluidizantes melts completely through a laser beam to generate three-dimensional objects with properties as the original material. The process gives the possibility of producing parts of virtually any complexity. The new technology that develops along with Trumpf is a step in the field of rapid manufacturing and rapid manufacturing. The new method is based on developments carried out by the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology (Aachen, Germany), which will continue to be involved in the developments from Trumpf and Eos. In fact, the cited Institute (www.rapidprototyping.fhg.de) also had a stand at Euromold, where demonstrated their knowledge in numerous technologies to accelerate a process of production. They were curious information on how to make implants dental or artificial bone fusion with laser, the technology that works with Eos and Trumpf. Is manufacturing implants directly from the tomográficos data from the computer, to go, layer to layer, creating a piece
