AM-Machine Provider Offers Vision of Factory of the Future
EOS North America Booth 1413
EOS North America highlights its vision for the fac- tory of the future through its end-to-end AM solutions and services. On hand
is the EOS Additive Minds con-
sultancy group, which collabo- rates with customers throughout the AM experience.
Onsite, EOS is running its
M290 and M100 metal printers.
EOS also is participating in the
Medical Manufacturing Innova-
tions (MMI) series, spotlighting
exactly how AM can manufac-
ture end-use medical devices
and create personalized implants
for patients. EOS also shares the results from a recent
whitepaper with C&A Tool that underscores how AM manufacturing can meet or exceed industry standards for mechanical integrity and part density in tooling.
In addition, EOS executives are speaking at RAPID + TCT on a variety of topics.

Vacuum-Heattreating Services for 3DMetal Printing
Solar Atmospheres Booth 1752
Solar Atmospheres provides
commercial vacuum-heattreating
services for 3D metal-printing tech-
nologies. Its vacuum furnaces can
produce the critical temperature
uniformity (+2 F) when needed and
the vital heating and cooling data
by thermocoupling parts directly.
Additionally, the vacuum-heattreat-
ing process has the ability to attain
the vacuum levels necessary to pro-
duce clean, oxide-free results. www.solaratm.com/markets/additive-manufacturing
Hot Isostatic Pressing for AM
Sintavia LLC Booth 2129
Sintavia provides independent metal AM in support
of critical industries. Its hot-isostatic-pressing (HIP)
technology applies high pressure and high temperature
in tandem to eliminate internal voids in AM compo-
nents, thus achieving 100-percent density and improving fatigue resistance. To demon- strate this, the company is displaying an artificial pore it created, which shows what
happens to internal voids when high- pressure heattreatment via HIP is added to the metal AM process. Shown in the photo (left to right) is the cross-section of a HIPed cylinder with powder inside; a non-HIPed cylinder with an artificial pore; and a cylinder emptied of powder prior to the HIP cycle. www.sintavia.com
Powderbed-Based
Laser Metal AM Machines Concept Laser Inc.
Booth 1327
Concept Laser designs and manufactures powderbed-based laser metal AM systems. On display: the M2 Cusing machine,
known as the workhorse of the Concept Laser systems and designed to deliver flexibility. Ideal applications include serial production and materials R&D. Visitors also can learn about Concept Laser’s new M Line Factory-series machines, designed with a modular architecture and two inde- pendent machine units that allow for simultaneous setup, dismantling and part production.
