How do you push the limits of additive manufacturing without compromising quality or reliability?
In Episode 4 of Material World, host Tina Schlingmann speaks with EOS Process Engineer Theresa about one of the most exciting topics in industrial metal additive manufacturing: process innovation.
As metal AM moves into increasingly demanding applications, manufacturers face new challenges. Complex geometries, thin walls, low overhang angles, and heat accumulation can lead to distortion, poor surface quality, and reduced productivity.
In this episode, you'll learn how EOS develops advanced process parameters, manages thermal behavior, and uses innovations such as Smart Fusion to improve build stability while reducing support structures and post-processing effort.
Using a turbo housing component as a real-world example, Theresa explains how modern process control technologies enable better surface quality, improved geometric accuracy, and more reliable production for challenging applications in energy and other high-performance industries.
In this episode:
Why process innovation matters in industrial AM
The impact of thermal management on build quality
Alloy-specific challenges in additive manufacturing
How parameter development works
Understanding process stability and build robustness
Smart Fusion explained
Real-world examples of adaptive process control
The future of autonomous and AI-supported AM processes
Featured Expert: Theresa Hanemann, Process Engineering, EOS IVMS
