EOS, the world's leading technology provider in the field of industrial 3D printing of metals and polymers, is showcasing its latest portfolio of industrial additive manufacturing (AM) solutions at RAPID + TCT 2018 in booth #1118, hosted in Fort Worth, Texas, April 23-26. EOS will be launching the new EOS P 810 polymer platform specifically designed to process the new high-performance, ALM material HT-23. Developed in close cooperation with Boeing, this world's first economic, high-temperature polymer AM solution addresses industry requirements for demanding high-performance parts. As such, this technology package is particularly developed for the aerospace industry but can also be applied for other industries.
Scott Killian, aerospace business development manager, EOS North America, emphasizes: "The aerospace industry has to meet challenging requirements when it comes to UV resistance, flame retardancy and meeting Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) such as FAR 25.853, which sets standards for materials within compartment interiors. Additive Manufacturing enables the design and manufacturing of complex geometries without expensive tooling. This allows aerospace OEM's to replace composite parts which to date are being produced manually via carbon fiber laminating. They can also replace aluminum parts with HT-23 while still meeting the material strength properties required for the application. With the EOS P 810, our customers can produce lightweight parts, reduce time for production and parts assembly, and cut overall costs-per-part."
EOS P 810: large frame, two laser system for highly demanding applications
The system builds on the well-established EOS P 800 and is specifically designed for the requirements of industries such as aerospace and processes exclusively the HT-23 material. With a build volume of 700 x 380 x 380 mm and two 70 Watt lasers, the EOS P 810 system enables the production of large structural parts with excellent dimensional accuracy and provides increased productivity. It is particularly suited for industrial applications.
