EOS Industrial 3D Printing: A Driver for Digital, Responsible Manufacturing
EOS is the world's leading technology supplier in the field of industrial 3D printing of metals and polymers, with a focus on responsible and sustainable manufacturing. Connecting high quality production efficiency with its pioneering innovation and sustainable practices, the independent company formed in 1989 is shaping the future of manufacturing through its innovative and comprehensive solutions.
Its product portfolio of EOS systems, materials, and process parameters gives customers a crucial competitive advantage in terms of product quality and the long-term economic sustainability of their manufacturing processes. Supported by its broader ecosystem, EOS facilitates customized manufacturing solutions across the entire value chain — from the initial idea to design and engineering, production, post-processing and ultimately the finished part.
EOS is leading the way in AM techniques such as metal support-free part printing and creating production workflows that enable easy integration with existing production lines, while accelerating the part design process. Customized machines are also available via AMCM, an EOS company.
As a market leader, EOS wants to lead by example on sustainability. EOS, its customer YOU MAWO, and Fraunhofer EMI partnered up for a comparative lifecycle analysis. The result: eyewear 3D printed on EOS technology shows up to 58 percent lower carbon footprint than conventional eyewear.

TCT Buyer Guidance
Questions for your EOS AM evaluation
What is your target production volume and material? EOS covers the widest range of metal and polymer PBF applications from a single vendor. For metal, build volume ranges from 250mm to 400mm, with multi-laser options for throughput. For polymer, the range spans compact (FORMIGA) to high-volume production (P 500, P 770).
Are you evaluating metal, polymer, or both? A single-vendor approach can simplify procurement, training, and service, but ensure the specific system meets your application requirements rather than defaulting to platform commonality.
What does your post-processing chain look like? Metal PBF parts require stress relief, support removal, and finishing. Polymer SLS parts need depowdering and potentially dyeing or surface sealing. Evaluate total cycle time and cost, not just print speed.
How important is material sustainability? EOS offers climate-neutral and carbon-reduced material options across both metal and polymer portfolios, with demonstrated lifecycle advantages in applications like eyewear manufacturing.
