Additive manufacturing with EOS polymer technology

Polymer 3D printers – The cost-effective solution for high-quality components

With 30 years of experience in 3D printing for industrial applications, EOS has perfected the process of powder bed-based additive manufacturing involving plastics. EOS has mastered the interaction between 3D printing system, material and process for the production of components on an industrial scale. This technology establishes the basis for production results that meet the most diverse industrial requirements in terms of dimensional accuracy, surface quality and stability.

Since 2021, URMA has been the exclusive distributor in Switzerland of the extensive product portfolio for industrial 3D printing from EOS. As a user, you benefit from integrated production solutions. Be it stand-alone or as a supplement to your existing production environment: our efficient and integrable EOS solutions adapt to your individual production requirements.

Pre-processing and design:

Create and import print data

In order to create a digital template, the data must first be prepared. Such a 3D model can be designed using a CAD program, or digitized using a 3D scanner. This is followed by checking the CAD model, correct positioning on the respective surface and adding support structures.

3D scan

Easily measure objects with the portable “Handy Scan 3D” from Creaform, in order to obtain the component’s CAD data, or subject components to a subsequent quality check by scanning the finished workpiece.

Software

With the “Materialise Magics” software platform, you are ideally equipped to manage and automate labor-intensive tasks and scale processes – irrespective of the 3D printing technologies or machines.


Production:

3D printing using polymer

The polymer 3D printers work using the SLS process (Selective Laser Sintering). With this method, plastic powder is fused point by point, creating your 3D-printed component, layer by layer. Various plastics are available for this printing process.

3D printers for polymers

The systems from EOS for additive manufacturing with plastics offer various construction space sizes and laser outputs to meet your production challenges. You will also benefit from a broad portfolio of polymer materials and easy-to-integrate software.

Materials for additive manufacturing with plastic

EOS has been successful in striking an ideal balance between materials, systems and process parameters. URMA offers a wide range of materials with validated parameter sets that ensure optimum product properties.

Powder recycling

In cooperation with the plastics specialist, KaJo Plastic, EOS has created a closed return loop for the recycling of used plastic materials. Plastic materials that can no longer be used for additive manufacturing can be used for another purpose – for example, for powder coating.


Post-Processing:

Post-processing and quality assurance

Cleaning, depowdering, surface treatment or colouring: DyeMansion has a broad machine portfolio for the perfect finishing of your plastic components. The machines are compatible with all plastic powder bedding processes.

Powder removal with the Powershot C

The Powershot C promises you automated depowdering, gentle surface treatment and a high level of convenience during operation.
