Re-envisioning Metal 3D Printing | Innovation Story EOS 3D Printing 2024-04-25 | Imagine unpacking a metal job with the ease of handling a polymer job – a feature that was once thought impossible. Our incredible Innovation Team made the impossible possible – again! In metal 3D printing, supports are considered a necessary evil. They act as heat sinks to draw heat away from the melt pool, anchor parts to the build plate to prevent distortion from internal stresses, and maintain the part's position during printing while absorbing recoating forces. However, the downside is that every cubic millimeter of printed support structures brings various challenges and complexity. Designing and optimizing support structures takes time, adds to the printing duration, results in wasted materials, often requires manual labor or CNC machining for removal, and leaves supporting marks on the part's surface, necessitating post-machining. Printing entirely without support structures proves to be a formidable challenge in metal 3D printing. In EOS's metal 3D printing, the laser is the primary source of energy deployed into the powder bed. The platform or powder bed is pre-heated to a maximum of 200°C, creating a significant thermal delta between the liquidus state and powder, inducing stresses during material shrinkage after cooling. The exposure parameters and the printing system itself can lead to an inhomogeneous remolten surface, acting as a catch for recoating forces that may rip the built structure from the powder bed. The innovative team at EOS addressed these challenges by working on multi-exposure parameters and strategy optimization, individually tackling the effects mentioned above, emphasizing the need for support structures to make the lives of our customers easier, and aiming to bring the cost per part down significantly. Significant reductions in laser-to-laser time have been achieved, facilitated by the system's streamlined process, requiring only the replenishment of fresh powder. This advancement enables swift restarts, minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity. Cost reductions are attainable through the elimination of the need for part separation from the building platform. Previously, operations such as band saw or wire EDM were required, contributing to both time and material waste. Additionally, the need to refurbish the platform by grinding it flat again is rendered unnecessary, further saving on maintenance costs. With the elimination of the task of replacing the building platform inside the machine, time efficiencies are optimized, allowing for seamless workflow continuity. In conjunction with EOS's proprietary Smart Fusion technology for optimized heat management, a job could be printed entirely “free-floating” in the building process chamber without a single support. The "micro impeller" was chosen as an ideal reference geometry due to relatively low stresses during printing, making it a perfect showcase. Not only can it be spun like a top, adding a fun factor, but the working principles of these improvements can be applied to various geometries and applications, provided the part can be oriented starting from a relatively small section in the X/Y-plane. This principle can be implemented across different industries where applications meet the above mentioned criteria. One can envision its application in automotive superchargers, for instance, with impellers. #futureisadditive #responsiblemanufacturing #3Dprinting____________________Subscribe to our YouTube channel:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/eosgmbh?sub_c...Follow us:LinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/eosTwitter: twitter.com/eos3dprinting____________________Imprint: eos.info/en/footer/imprintPrivacy Policy: https://www.eos.info/en/footer/privac...____________________

Toyota Industries Corporation Adoption of Additive Manufacturing with EOS and XAM EOS 3D Printing 2023-03-09 | Toyota Industries Corporation (TICO) successfully adopted additive manufacturing (AM) in their die casting facility, the Obu Plant. Engineers at TICO are often challenged with material build up in the die, due to hot spots, resulting in part defects. The conventional method in polishing the die to remove the material build-up has been the biggest cause for production stoppages. With stringent measures like improving the cooling system by increasing the size and depth of cooling holes, increasing the frequency of the maintenance and preservation work, they could only reduce the defects by half reaching the limits of the conventional manufacturing process.Working together with EOS and XAM on their pain points, TICO explored AM technology to enable 3-dimensional cooling channels in the die to enhance cooling and heat homogenization. With AM, they achieved optimal temperature, freedom of design of the cooling channels and reduced the amount of polishing in all the parts, with 80% of the part eliminating polishing , therefore reducing defects and increasing operation rate.#futureisadditive #3Dprinting____________________Subscribe to our YouTube channel:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/eosgmbh?sub_c...Follow us:LinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/eosTwitter: twitter.com/eos3dprinting____________________Imprint: eos.info/en/footer/imprintPrivacy Policy: https://www.eos.info/en/footer/privac...____________________

EOSTATE Exposure OT Real Time Monitoring EOS 3D Printing 2022-09-29 | Are you concerned about part quality in your AM production? Learn how EOSTATE Exposure OT real-time monitoring can help! With OT in situ monitoring, it is possible to correlate repeated extreme hot-spot grey values at affected areas with process instability and defects through an X-ray CT scan. In addition, we can implement OT monitoring as a quality assurance tool to access and monitor part-to-part process stability across builds.

Sustainable Spare Part Production - BLUEPRINT EOS 3D Printing 2022-09-21 | Follow Björn in this episode to Berlin, where he meets with Stefanie Brickwede, Head of Additive Manufacturing at Deutsche Bahn. Until now, the company printed up to 60,000 spare parts and soundly investigated 3D printing to reduce cost, avoid waste and limit the standstill of trains. In addition to their manufacturing journey, you will discover the most exciting applications and benefits they have for their supply chain. Finally, Stefanie reveals why 3D printing is strategically important for the future of one of the largest European railway companies.
Sustainable Plastics 2 – Biobased Powder - BLUEPRINT EOS 3D Printing 2022-08-02 | Join us for part two of sustainable plastic manufacturing and get exciting information about the first climate and carbon-neutral material for 3D printing. In the opening discussion, our EOS colleague Sam Houston will give you information about the properties of the biobased material and the industries in which it can be applied. Furthermore, Charlotte Herdt from our powder supplier Arkema will explain to you how castor beans are turned into plastic. Lastly, our third guest is Kai Landwehr from the NGO myclimate. Haven't you always wanted to know what carbon offsetting is and when it makes sense to utilize it? Kai will give you the answer.
Sustainable Plastics 1 – Use and Reuse of Powder - BLUEPRINT EOS 3D Printing 2022-07-12 | In the second episode, Björn meets with two of his colleagues, polymer material experts, Sybille Fischer and Vanessa Seidenschwarz to discuss where carbon emissions occur during the 3D printing process. Sybille explains what happens to plastics during the process and the consequences this has for part properties. Vanessa gives insights into how users can prevent powder aging during production and work more efficiently, thanks to sustainability optimized parameters.
